Moderators CJ Vogel Posted August 12 Moderators Share Posted August 12 Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian is speaking with the media via Zoom Monday afternoon. Typically these will be held in-person, however an event at the Moody Center provided difficult travel to the area so we are turning the clocks back to 2020 today. Notes and quotes below: *** — Sarkisian in his opening statement: “Today’s practice was as good as we have had in quite some time.” Sarkisian says Texas had great mental “One thing that showed up today, and definitely showed up in the scrimmage, was the defense’s ability to attack the football.” Sunday was an off day, there was a walk-through this morning and a practice in shells today. — “Saturday’s scrimmage was highly competitive.” Sark adds there were a few presnap penalties — offsides, false starts etc. — On chemistry between Quinn and the WRs: “Isaiah (Bond) played really well.” Sarkisian says all three transfers caught plenty of balls on Saturday in the scrimmage and the rapport is building with Ewers thanks to extra rotations with the 1’s and 2’s. Sarkisian says they have rotated the WRs and the TE’s regularly on a daily basis. — Sarkisian says this is kind of that week where things might catch a lull, which is why he was so pleased with the intensity of practice today. Not quite fresh for fall camp, but not 100% ready to prepare for CSU. — “we really need a top 44.” Sarkisian was asked about his confidence in a starting lineup and pointed to the non-con slate vs. longer season. There will be specific packages for a few guys as well this far. — Asked about walk-ons, Sarkisian points to LB Marshall Landwehr and RB Colin Page. “Those two guys have stood out to me.” — Sarkisian says the Texas front might be a bit more versatile and different this year than a year ago. Says the staff will have to adapt to their strengths. — Sarkisian says both freshmen RB were introduced to college football on Saturday in the scrimmage. Both put the ball on the ground, but showed some nice spots. Sarkisian pointed to Blue and Baxter coming over to discuss their first college scrimmages to help ease them into it. — Sarkisian: “We are seeing the best version of Barryn Sorrell than in any of the previous three years.” — Sarkisian says the staff is looking at the RB position creatively in regard to possible position changes. Mentioned moving a body or two from the defensive side of the ball. — Sarkisian singled out a few cornerbacks. Saying “we are in a pretty good spot there.” 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas fan in Georgia Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 If the defense is half as good as advertised, I like Texas chances against anybody . Ohio st and Georgia included. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
