More from Sarkisian in the comments below.

[CJ Vogel]

Sarkisian praises the Texas defense and says offensively there was a rhythm they found late.

Only four possessions, one touchdown, one field goal and a 7:00 drive to end the game.

[CJ Vogel]

Sarkisian says its a luxury for the Texas defense to travel the way that they do.

Sarkisian says Texas is lightyears from where they were from three years ago, but that the locker room is not content.

Rhythm nothing. That was bad offensive football.

[CJ Vogel]

Texas did not turn the ball over today. Won the battle 2-0.

"The football gods were on our side with the fumble by Blue."

[CJ Vogel]

Sarkisian says the offense being able to rely on the veterans is key. Ewers, Banks, Majors etc.

[CJ Vogel]

Sarkisian on Quinn Ewers: "I thought he played pretty efficiently." Says the offense needs to maximize opportunities when the drives are limited. Was pleased with the late TD drive and the conversion to ice the game.

[CJ Vogel]

Sarkisian says there is a lot of pride on the defensive side of the ball right now.

[CJ Vogel]

Defensively, Sark says the defense is making opponents earn everything. There isn't a lot of busts and as a result, it forces opposing offenses to earn every yard.

Poor execution was the problem

Sarkisian says the staff knew that there would be adjustments from the Arkansas D coming out of the bye.

[CJ Vogel]

 Great answer here. 

[CJ Vogel]

That’s all from Sark.

RB Tre Wisner: “So far every game is the SEC Championship, we said that coming into the season.”

[CJ Vogel]

I asked Jaydon Blue about the grass thickness. I didn’t get the sense it was an issue for anyone on the field despite the TV broadcast making it a bit of a big deal.

He says this every week but the offense keeps coming out flat. If they’re not content then they need to get it together

Defensive adjustments didn’t miss 3-4 deep balls; at least 2 of which would have been TDs.

Nanson + PK has been terrific for Texas

That’s right! He needs to tote the ball around campus again just like Baby Rhino did last week.

It looked more like they over watered the field. Everyone was slipping and sliding around out there.

Damn right, as well there should be we held them to under 300 yards of offense and pressured the hell outta them! If the offense had executed and scored at all in the first half like they should have been able to, we would’ve been talking about a freakin blowout worse than ole miss.

This is coach speak for he stunk it up and almost got his butt benched if not for the defense playing insane and bailing his poor play out. But sure he was efficient in getting off the field, sacked, and making a bad defense look good.
