Texas’ Steve Sarkisian stresses Longhorns have ‘something to prove’ after Georgia loss

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian fielded questions this week during his most recent SEC coaches’ weekly teleconference call.

Highlights from the conversation can be found below, according to 247Sports.

“It’s a heck of a challenge on the field, but it’s obviously a challenge for us off the field too, from a mentality standpoint, coming off of the loss to Georgia last week,” Sarkisian said, reportedly referring to the team’s mental toughness and the wisdom he hopes they take from the program’s first Southeastern Conference loss as a member of the league.

“It’s a good test for us as a team, from a maturity standpoint, how we respond to some of the adversity coming off of a loss, but also preparing for a very tough opponent.
