Moderators CJ Vogel Posted November 18 Author Moderators Share Posted November 18 Sarkisian says TE Juan Davis "does all the little things."

Says Saturday will also be an opportunity to celebrate Davis and his time as a Longhorn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted November 18 Author Moderators Share Posted November 18 I asked Steve Sarkisian about the reliance on 12P rather than the jumbo 6-man OL look as we have seen in previous years. Sark said Gunnar Helm's ability to bridge the blocking in the C-gap on the outside has been something that has allowed for Texas to use Juan Davis more and more rather than needing to bring in another 300-pounder to create running lanes. To me it sounded like the jumbo package a year ago was used out of necessity due to cover up a lackluster blocking tight end, whereas Helm is doing the job himself. Also, Sarkisian says adding Davis and Helm on the field rather than jumbo OL + TE adds one more threat for a defense to defend against in the passing game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted November 18 Author Moderators Share Posted November 18 Sarkisian says the team is having a blast right now. The team would not let him take the field for pregame warmups before finishing the lyrics of a song that was playing from the Arkansas PA System. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
