Everything Steve Sarkisian said about Texas vs. Tennessee, Arch Manning and more
- Steve Sarkisian said Texas added a 10-personnel package last week to get Jermaine Bishop on the field with Ryan Wingo, Cam Coleman, Emmett Mosley and Hollywood Smothers. He wants to keep finding ways to involve Bishop; this was an actual package addition, not a promised starting role.
- Sarkisian said Texas leaned too late on outside zone against UTSA, after emphasizing inside zone and duo; Derrek Cooper and Michael Terry benefited when it was called. He wants more weekly run-game variety. Cooper played despite not being 100% that Saturday, so the appearance was not a declaration of full recovery.
- Texas has carried designed Arch Manning runs in recent game plans without calling them, Sarkisian said. He intends to use them strategically rather than make them the offense's staple because of the physical toll, and wants Manning to get down once he has secured a first down.
- Sarkisian linked Michael Masunas' limited Texas usage to practice consistency, physicality and assignment knowledge, while crediting Spencer Shannon, Emaree Winston and Nick Townsend in the tight-end competition. He still expects to need all four at varying times; he did not announce a new pecking order.
- Sarkisian identified Texas' UTSA efficiency as a concern when defenses limit explosive plays: 7-of-17 on third down, 0-of-2 on fourth down and touchdowns on 2-of-5 red-zone trips. Monday's quarterback work returned to rhythm, timing, anticipation and throw location after the offense stalled following 17 points on its first three drives.

Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel Talks Texas Ahead of the 'Orange' Bowl
- In his Monday scouting of Texas before Tennessee's conference opener, Josh Heupel credited the Longhorns' front, gap integrity and physicality at the point of attack with limiting explosive runs. He said all three defensive levels are fitting together; this is an opponent's assessment of current execution, not an announced new front.
- Heupel described Texas' pass defense as a combination of zone principles, match principles and varied pressures. He said its personnel allows flexibility in coverage and rotations, and Tennessee must be ready to adjust to looks not yet on film; he did not identify a specific newly installed pressure package.

2026 Texas Longhorn-UTSA Roadrunners Football Postmortem: Defense/Special Teams
- Against Texas, UTSA quarterback Owen McCown attempted only one pass at least 10 yards downfield, according to the review. His eight pressured attempts produced seven yards, and his longest completion was 13 yards. Those are this game's coverage and pressure results, not a projection that Texas will suppress Tennessee's different offense the same way.
- Texas used 12 defensive linemen against UTSA, with nine logging at least 10 snaps and true freshman Richard Wesley playing 24. The review says the rotation began early. This documents actual game usage following the pregame intention to rotate more players, not a new starting order or a guaranteed future snap allocation.
- The Texas review credits Rasheem Biles with effective A-gap pressure work and better assignment discipline against UTSA. It identifies a Cryer run-fit angle while the defensive line was stunting as one edge-setting breakdown. These are the writer's specific execution assessments, not a reported change of defensive system or linebacker roles.
- Texas was penalized four times on special teams against UTSA. Both Niblett kickoff returns failed to reach the 20, with a penalty on the second leaving the offense inside its 10. The writer criticizes return blocking and favors fair catches; that is analysis of the game's field-position losses, not a coach-announced return-policy change.
