On Venables: He is a tremendous defensive coach. Sarkisian says he knows OU will have a good defensive game plan with two weeks to prepare. "What's on tape, might not be what we are going to get."

Sarkisian: "From top to bottom in this conference, anybody can beat anybody and we saw that this weekend."

Sarkisian says if the game was today, Quinn Ewers would be the Longhorns' starting QB.

On the OL: Sarkisian says the staff has learned plenty of lessons over the years. Points to continuity and experience on the OL that is going to be very important for the Longhorns. Sarkisian says Cam Williams has grown exponentially this season as well. OU's front seven is "very active." and BV puts them in great positions to make plays.

Sarkisian says Oklahoma has found a "niche" offensively with Hawkins at quarterback.

Sarkisian says this weekend was a heck of a week to be a fan of the sport. Says the bye week went well for the Longhorns and came at a good time in the schedule.

Time for Sark.

Wednesday around 7

Should get going in the next 5-10 mins.

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.

Current year Hudl:

Sophomore Hudl:

Texas has extended an offer to 2026 Bolles School (Jacksonville, FL) wide receiver Naeem Burroughs. The 6-foot, 175-pound wide out now holds 28 offers to go along with his 10.6 speed on the track. Burroughs' older brother is currently a wide receiver at Wisconsin.

They did it again!

Can’t be too upset with that.

Texas RB legend

A couple of nuggets on the running back room as Texas officially enters its bye week today. Reminder, there is no practice Friday morning or this weekend. *** – I am told Jaydon Blue has had a strong week of practice so far. The two fumbles suffered against Mississippi State have left him committed to bouncing back in a big way against Oklahoma in Dallas. Blue doesn't lack for confidence and right now is chomping at the bit to get the ball back in his hands in a meaningful game. – RB Jerrick Gibson is expected to be as close to full strength against Oklahoma as he has been all season long. The freshman back has been dealing with a lingering ankle, however after just four touches a week ago and the bye week, the former IMG Academy running back is expected to return to his healthiest form since the season opener. – Grad transfer RB Velton Gardner was inactive a week ago due to injury in what had become a pretty surprising development. I was told the injury was a cut above the eye that left Gardner sidelined last weekend. I would consider him questionable at the moment – have yet to hear a definitive update on him just yet. – RB Colin Page is recovering well, though I have yet to hear what his status will be for Oklahoma. Regardless, health is slowing returning to the Texas running back room.

It won't a make a difference.

Looking good!
