On Monday, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian expressed his understanding that if worse comes to worst through the remainder of the 2024 college football season, then some of the program’s younger players might then be forced to step up to fill spots.

Texas football’s head coach said he’s preparing them accordingly, per Sports Illustrated.

“I was thinking to myself, ‘Okay, we’re seven and one, we’re eight games into the season, and the goal is to be playing January 20. And if you want to play on January 20, you’re minimum playing eight more games,” Sarkisian said during Monday’s media availability.
