- QB/OL: Offense is a QB, o-line, WR, RB, play calling casserole of no one flavor standing out.

- Injury: AUSTIN, Texas — Texas football running back Hollywood Smothers suited up in an "emergency" role for the Longhorns against Tennessee on Saturday, coach Steve Sarkisian said.

- Texas recorded 10 sacks against Tennessee, five by Colin Simmons. Steve Sarkisian credited tight coverage and the front's execution of the game plan; the result does not establish a new permanent pressure package. - Texas held Tennessee to 61 rushing yards on 36 carries, meeting Sarkisian's stated under-100 target. With the defense playing well, he said Texas took fewer offensive chances to avoid short fields; that was his Tennessee-game approach, not a promised future play-calling policy. - Tennessee sacked Arch Manning six times; Sarkisian attributed some Texas protection trouble to the loud road environment and late offensive-line get-off and said several spots were out of character. He announced no offensive-line change. - Sarkisian said Texas kept Hollywood Smothers available only for an emergency against Tennessee because he was not 100%, so Raleek Brown and Derrek Cooper carried the backfield. Cooper got rolled up during the game; Sarkisian gave no diagnosis or return timetable for either back.

- RB: Longhorns RB Raleek Brown says that he looks at TikTok for inspiration on his touchdown celebrations.

- RB: Longhorns RB Raleek Brown says that the atmosphere at Neyland Stadium was crazy and that it was so loud that he felt like he was vibrating at first.
