Sark says there won;'t be much change to the schedule this week for the team except for maybe sleeping in a bit more. Sarkisian says he wants to reenergize their batteries a bit. No school and Thanksgiving week of course.

Sarkisian points to the "We not me." mentality of the team which has helped elevate the play of the entire team. Says the end of season awards are a byproduct of the team success.

"We all know Kyle Field is a really loud stadium, they have a good fanbase."

Sarkisian points to the final 8:00 drive vs. Arkansas and the 15-play drive against Kentucky as really impressive moments for the Texas OL. Says it was a big confidence boost.

Sarkisian on QB Quinn Ewers: "I think he is doing okay." Ewers is expected to be on the practice field this afternoon for Texas where the staff will get a better understanding of his health.

Steve Sarkisian says Texas A&M has an "elite, premier" defensive line which is the strength of the Aggie team.

Texas was 4/5 scoring TD in the red zone against Kentucky, who was the No. 1 redzone D in the conference coming into the game.

"Gunnar Helm continues to play very well for us offensively."

Sark points to five players accounting for 12 sacks in the last two games.

Sarkisian says a few things from Saturday that stood out was the complementary football Texas played. Texas fumbled in their own territory twice and it resulted in 0 points, missed FG and a fourth down stop.

Steve Sarkisian starting up now.

Texas is practicing this afternoon.

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is on the podium for his Monday press conference ahead of the Lone Star Showdown. We have made it to Texas-Texas A&M week! There is a spot in the SEC Championship Game on the line this weekend in College Station and the Longhorns are heading to College Station as 5-point favorites. Tidbits from the Texas head coach in the comments down below.

I feel good about Wiley even after the Florida trip.

The 9th year Miami TE has both beat lol

I like it for Texas.

Most snaps for freshmen this season: 362 – Ryan Wingo 297 – Colin Simmons 112 – Jerrick Gibson 108 – Kobe Black 85 – Alex January 78 – Jordon Johnson-Rubell 64 – Brandon Baker 28 – Parker Livingstone 27 – Trey Owens 25 – Wardell Mack, Xavier Filsaime

25 snaps in SEC play so far.

Kobe still found 2 special teams tackles.

I was having the conversation with a buddy Sunday morning – Derek Williams' injury is obviously very unfortunate and Williams himself is a great player. But there is something to say about the Next Man Up story with McDonald that is very encouraging for the remainder of the team. Jelani has been tremendous in his snaps since starting vs. Vandy.

A rundown of who saw time on the field for the Texas Longhorns in the win over Kentucky on Saturday. *** Offensive Snap Count Out of 81 possible snaps. 81 – Kelvin Banks, Hayden Conner, Jake Majors, Cam Williams, Gunnar Helm, Quinn Ewers 65 – DJ Campbell 59 – Tre Wisner 54 – Matthew Golden 42 – Isaiah Bond 40 – Ryan Wingo 39 – DeAndre Moore 35 – Jaydon Blue 24 – Silas Bolden 23 – Juan Davis 16 – Cole Hutson 3 – Amari Niblack, Jerrick Gibson 1 – Colin Page, Ryan Niblett – I was a bit surprised seeing as many snaps for both DeAndre Moore and Isaiah Bond, felt like incredibly quiet days for both. – 59–35 snap count for Wisner-Blue. Blue had 18 touches on Saturday, meaning he touched the rock on more than half of his snaps. ••• Defensive Snap Count Out of 57 possible snaps. 57 – Jahdae Barron 53 – Malik Muhammad 52 – Anthony Hill Jr. 44 – Michael Taaffe, Andrew Mukuba 41 – Trey Moore 38 – Barryn Sorrell 37 – Jaylon Guilbeau 34 – Colin Simmons, Alfred Collins 32 – Vernon Broughton 28 – Liona Lefau 27 – Jermayne Lole 26 – Jelani McDonald 21 – Gavin Holmes 19 – Ethan Burke 16 – Bill Norton 11 – Mo Blackwell Jr. 4 – Sydir Mitchell 3 – TyAnthony Smith, Alex January, David Gbenda – What was interesting to me was the amount of snaps with just one true linebacker on the field. Texas rocked with Hill for just about every snap, but Lefau saw rough half the snaps in the game on defense and then there was Gbenda and Smith for some change. – Second most snaps in a game for Colin Simmons this season. – Continues to be a very impactful 26 snaps for Jelani McDonald. INT was the highlight.

I am so unbelievably sick of Temu

That's all from Sark.

Sarkisian says TE Gunnar Helm is the model of development in the program.
