Steve Sarkisian Confident in Texas Longhorns Preparation for Georgia
Steve Sarkisian is confident that the his team is preparing as best the can for the Georgia Bulldogs
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian held a press conference on Thursday with the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs traveling to Austin to play the Longhorns this Saturday.
With a program like Georgia, Sarkisian in his press conference emphasized just how confident he is in his team with how they have practiced to prepare for the game. When a reporter asked Sarkisian about having the first defense playing the first offense in practice, something that isn’t widely common, Sarkisian had this to say:
I think it’s helpful in that we do a lot of good-on-good every week to keep us fresh in the speed of the game to where it needs to be.”
Texas’s defense hasn’t faced an offense like Georgia yet this year. Carson Beck and the Georgia offense have scored over 30 points in three consecutive games with Georgia gaining over 500 total yards on offense against Alabama and over 600 against Mississippi State. Texas hasn’t allowed over 300 yards in total offense once this year.
With that, Texas’s defense has a very tall task ahead of them, something they haven’t seen all year, so practicing against a potent offense like Texas’s can sort of simulate the feeling that the defense will have lining up against Georgia.
