He did not call a starter today, and said he does not alter anything in how he approaches his quarterbacks. “I do not do anything,”Sarkisian stated.”Arch is simply another guy on our group, and the reason I’m able to do that is because that’s who Arch is every day. He’s the generous colleague. He appreciates the guys on the team. He appreciates Quinn. They’ve got a fantastic relationship. He works his tail off. He wants to play great football for them, because he knows how difficult everybody’s working. So I literally do not address it with him. I do not resolve it with the team. He’s just part of the group.”Editor’s Picks 2 Associated Sarkisian said Ewers threw a corner path to tight end Gunnar Helm and felt pain however believed it would go away. A

play later on, Ewers stated

he knew something was incorrect and needed to get it took a look at. Manning went in, looked poised and composed, according to Sarkisian, who said he was impressed with how Manning played from the very first breeze. “I believed Arch truly made great decisions Saturday.

a 19-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr. was his third read.”That was motivating his first play in.

game due to the fact that you get injured, but I believe if you asked Quinn today, he’s fired up for him, due to the fact that he knows how hard Arch has actually been working. “Sarkisian stated he goes back to the 2023 spring game, Manning’s first at Texas, when he had a hard time, going 5-of-13 for 30 yards, and how far he’s come.”

think, from Quinn to Arch. However likewise Arch to Quinn because I know Arch has been there supporting Quinn through his journey as well. So that’s a sign of a fantastic room and a sign of a good team. “The Longhorns are a good enough team that they relocated to No. 1 in the AP poll today, Texas’very first area on top given that 2008. Sarkisian said “the mission is far, far from over”and doesn’t change anything for the Longhorns. He said in a 12-team playoff era, the polls are verifying however do not essentially matter, stating,”nowadays you have actually got to go earn it.” “My thing is I’m not going to change,”Sarkisian stated.” This is what I was anticipating where we would be, and it was most likely difficult for a lot of other individuals to see when you’re 5-7 [as he was in Year 1 in 2021], however we had a vision and a goal of where our program could be and the way we were going to get there, therefore the messaging has actually been extremely consistent. I just do not believe now is the time for me to start to change.” Sarkisian had a good moment late in the game when his kid, Brady, a 6-2, 230-pound linebacker, got into the game late and authorized half a deal with. “I simply looked up and I saw 32 in and I actually, I took my headset off,

“Sarkisian said. “I didn’t want to hear the chatter, I didn’t want to hear the call. I just wanted to enjoy him play football like a father.

And after 2 plays, then I yelled down at the defensive staff, can we blitz 32? I resembled a dad would remain in the stands.’ Why aren’t we blitzing? Don’t throw it to that guy. Run that.’So that was fun for me. I had a lot of enjoyable and I took pride in him.”
