Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is talking with the media following the Longhorns' 27–24 victory over Vanderbilt in Nashville.

It was ugly, but a win is a win.

More from the Texas head coach.

 

Sarkisian says the staff had some really good runs that called back due to holds.

The whole offense will be evaluated.

Sarkisian says the team knew they would have to play all 60 minutes coming in and did it tonight.

Vanderbilt had two turnovers coming into the game, Sarkisian says he was very pleased to get three turnovers from the defense today.

Sarkisian says he will watch the tape on the 10 penalties and assess what needs to be adjusted in the next week of play.

 

Sarkisian says two weeks in a row the RB has blundered on a pass protection and allowed for a sack on 3rd down.

Sarkisian was asked if he thinks this is where his team should be at this point in the season.

 

Sarkisian says the team has had to overcome some really unique injuries this year and he is proud to get to where the team is at at 7-1 on the season. "The next four games are all very challenging."

Gerry said a while back that Gibson was doing well in pass pro. Why not at least give him a shot? Can’t do any worse 

Sarkisian says he is proud of the defense. Even despite some short fields allowed.

"Defense is defending the run really well." Added it might have been a concern coming into the season but its a strength now.

"If he plays like that the rest of the year, we are going to be okay."

Sarkisian says the offense was off schedule in the 2nd half due to  penalties. Says the offense when on schedule was really good this afternoon.

That's all for tonight.

Agree except for the bad sacks, poor decisions to throw into defenders leading to INTs, and holding the ball too long.

Whose fault is it then?

You go Fayetteville or College Station and play like this you will have 3 losses on the season.

Our standard isn’t supposed to be “okay”…
