University of Texas coach Steve Sarkisian strolled into his press conference on Thursday very cool, calm and collected. He is very comfortable with his Longhorns going to do battle with the Colorado State Rams on Saturday night in Austin.
“We’ve had three really good practices in a row. I commended the team, I think the intent, the attention to detail, the speed in which we practiced with and most notably on Tuesday and Wednesday, the physicality that we practiced with was really encouraging going into a first game,” Sarkisian said.is coming in as a heavy underdog. This is a perfect game for a team, a highly-ranked team such as Texas to take their opponent lightly.
“Thoroughly impressed with the way these guys worked here this week, and naturally, we know we’ve got a really good cleanup day tomorrow, but proud of the way they’ve prepared and put ourselves, I think, in a really good position to go out and perform Saturday,” Sarkisian said. “They know their system really well. And then, because when you know your system well, they know the answers to the test when you try to give them a different look. So I think it’s important for us to be tighter in coverage, try to affect the quarterback, and then having the ability to mix things up, to try to create a little bit of hesitation,” Sarkisian said.
