Moderators CJ Vogel Posted October 7 Moderators Share Posted October 7 Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is back speaking with media Monday morning ahead of the Oklahoma game this weekend in Dallas. We should be able to get an update on QB Quinn Ewers as well as some other Longhorns who have been dinged up here over the last few weeks. Texas is back to No. 1 in the country this week after Alabama was upset by Vanderbilt. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted October 7 Author Moderators Share Posted October 7 Sarkisian says it has been very beneficial for the Longhorns to play a lot of players and show off that depth.

Now, Texas is five-deep on the LB front this year with an ability to provide extra looks and fronts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted October 7 Author Moderators Share Posted October 7 I asked Sarkisian about the OU playmakers and the injuries they have been dealing with so far. He says OU has done a great job recruiting to find a consistent level of playmaker from top to bottom. They recruit for explosive playmaking on the outside. The challenge for Texas will be to stop the run, stop the QB run and limit explosive plays in the passing game to the outside. A large part of that will be to confuse Hawkins. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkInAustin Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Some of us would prefer Wisner get the most snaps. He seems to be a tougher and more adept RB than Blue to me and to others here who have expressed similar opinions. Do you have a clue as to the staff's thinking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like Wisner to come in as a complement to Blue if he’s healthy just because of how dynamic he can be in the pass game. I know it hasn’t materialized flawlessly so far but I think the quick pass game will be utilized by Sark much like in the Michigan game. Then once the defense gets thinking more East-west then you bring in Wisner to run it down their throats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
