Texas and UTSA had very different starts to their seasons. While Texas impressed many by winning at Michigan, UTSA disappointed in its first-ever loss to rivals Texas State. Nonetheless, Sarkisian isn’t taking the opponents lightly.

“I think they’re really good up front defensively,” Sarkisian said. “They’ve got length, they’ve got size. Their two interior guys are big people. You know, a couple of years ago, we had a hard time running the ball early, and then Bijan (Robinson) got himself going there. But these guys had a good scheme and it all starts with the way they play up front. We got to do a better job this year trying to block them.”
