Sarkisian says Texas is the only team in the country in offense and defense (scoring, I believe) at the moment.

"It has been an onslaught on the football for the last month." Sarkisian says of his defense.

Sarkisian says he believed Trey Moore played his best game as a Longhorn.

Good to have both Bond and Mukuba back on the field.

Also a positive to see Jerrick Gibson back in the picture offensively. Gibson finished with 100 yards on 16 carries.

Says the environment is going to be really tough.

The Texas-Arkansas rivalry is a bit underrated says Sarkisian. However, he is not taking the rivalry lightly in the locker room and the team understands how important this game is.

"I don't know what Darrel Royal did to Arkansas back in the day, but they hate our guts."

Sarkisian says he wishes the rivalry got more play nationally.

Texas played 12 offensive linemen, 30 on offense in total and 34 on defense.

"To be able to play that many players in an SEC game, is pretty good."

Sarkisian says it was huge for the players to get coached off of what they were able to do rather than someone else at their position.

Jaydon Blue said after the game this was the healthiest he has been all season.

"When your fast guys get to play fast, that's your strength."

 

Sarkisian lists off about 8 different offensive players he believes have elite speed.

Sarkisian on Trey Moore's impact: "He garners attention."

Moore does a great job running games off the edge (twists/stunts). Sark praises his awareness level and IQ on the field.

Versatility was mentioned several times for the Longhorn EDGE.

Sarkisian says OT Trevor Goosby has a "really really bright future" thanks to his measurables and intense internal drive. Credits Kyle Flood and Torre Becton for aiding his development since arriving on campus.
