If Sarkisian can push Texas (2-0) to still another level, the Roadrunners (1-1) could be in for a long night.
If Sarkisian can push Texas to still another level, the Roadrunners could be in for a long night.Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers throws against Michigan in the first half of an NCAA college football game in Ann Arbor, Mich., Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024.“We need to go to another level with our killer instinct. We need to be more relentless in the fourth quarter,” Sarkisian said as his team prepared to host UTSA on Saturday night. “I want to make it 60 minutes of hell for our opponents.
“Too many times in the past, the last four years that I’ve been here, have we let teams crawl back in in the second half,” safety Michael Taaffe said.Even when a game is clearly out of reach, Taaffe said, “It’s a just a matter of pride you have in yourself to where it’s like you want to take that opponent’s soul. You want them to really understand that when they go to bed that night, they remember the Texas Longhorns defense.”with an endzone interception in the final minute.
UTSA is coming off a blowout road loss at rival Texas State when the Roadrunners were down 35-3 by halftime. The last time the Roadrunners and Texas met in 2022, UTSA led 17-7 before Texas rolled to a 41-20 win.“The last time we went up there, we knew who we were. We had a real identity. We played with them for a while,” UTSA coach Jeff Traylor said. “Now we’re a team in transition.”, but tight end Gunnar Helm leads the team in catches after two games.
UTSA and next week’s game against Louisiana-Monroe should be chances for Texas backup quarterback Arch Manning to get more experience. Manning threw his against Colorado State. Third-year starter Quinn Ewers has missed games in each of the previous two seasons with injuries, and keeping Manning sharp ahead of Texas’ first SEC schedule could be a priority.
