Everything Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said two days before facing No. 1 Ohio State
- Texas coach Steve Sarkisian expects to use all four tight ends against Ohio State, as in the opener, and highlighted Spencer Shannon's improved receiving, comfort with adjustments, and value in run blocking and pass protection rather than announcing a new starter.
- Texas' early tight-end receptions against Texas State were primarily responses to defensive coverage, not a deliberate target quota, Sarkisian said; he sees those players as outlets and potential explosive targets when coverage attention goes to the other skill-position weapons.
- Texas' staff sees Arch Manning recovering more quickly from negative plays, citing his third-quarter response to the opener's late first-half interception; Sarkisian emphasized better understanding how to refocus Manning rather than promising a larger playbook for Ohio State.
- Texas is not treating Ohio State's Ball State opener as a complete guide to the coming game: Sarkisian expects different looks from Matt Patricia and Arthur Smith, is drawing on their older film, and wants a plan adaptable to multiple fronts and coverages with in-game adjustments.
- Texas defensive end Zina Umeozulu has developed into a more technically sound, assignment-aware player who can handle multiple spots, according to Sarkisian, who endorsed the current edge rotation without announcing a snap-count or starting-role change.

Texas' First Depth Chart Released, Plus Notes on Close Competitions
- Texas defensive tackle Maraad Watson rose to starter after a strong offseason in which he improved his strength at the point of attack and drew internal praise for selfless play.
- Texas safety Kobe Black overtook Derek Williams after closing faster in camp, possibly giving Texas more coverage ability before the Ohio State receiver matchup.
- Texas listed the running backs in two groups because Steve Sarkisian likes two-back sets, with Michael Terry bringing physicality and Ryan Niblett bringing speed and receiving ability.
- Texas left guard Dylan Sikorski was set to start partly because Laurence Seymore missed practices and was still catching up on the playbook.
- Texas moved Colton Vasek to Sam linebacker late in camp after Kosi Okpala moved to Will linebacker to provide depth behind Rasheem Biles.
