Austin-No. 10 Texas did not need some of the typical starters of Sam Houston 55-0 in a match other than the final conferences. They will definitely need them when playing in the southeast of the conference begins on October 4, when a week comes farewell to help.
The Longhorns team this week made the competition before the road reaches the Ben Hill Grifin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida, to seize Florida Gators in the opening match, and the main coach Steve Sarkissian wants to kick his men and recover.
Whether this is watching other football games this week or simply making their bodies suitable for practicing next week in preparation for Gators, he wants to take it easily once this week ends on Wednesday.
“I need them to get away from football for a minute,” he said. They had five weeks of the training camp and played four weeks in a row in the season, so I want them to put their feet on the sofa. “
A few players sat on the effect of Sam Houston to help accelerate the recovery process. CJ Baxter, Quintrevion Wisner, along with ALEX Janary, Kobe Black and Xavier Filsaime. Emmett Mosley V not playing throughout the season, but it could first appear against Gators.
Sarkissian expects a “wave” of players to return to the stadium in the opening match, and the week comes in the holding to achieve this.
Sarkissian said he wanted his players to hear from him about the games this week. He wants them to keep football participants, but they do not have tension and physical effect on the body that comes with competition in the field. Spending a little time during the season to allow their bodies to recover is something Sarkissian believes in good health. They will have another farewell week on November 8, a week before they travel “between hedge” to Sanford Stadium to face Georgia.
“I want them to watch football, and I want to get text messages from them about games,” he said. “This should make them feel a little reactivation.”
The week is free to make Sarkissian and his employees to strike the recruitment path. He said it is a strategic with those who send him to increase all available employment days that NCAA allows, but the man who loves to walk on the road this time of year is Chris Gilbert. Gilbert is a special assistant for Sarkisian now and was formerly the director of high school relations in Longorn before he held an assistant training job in North Texas in 2022.
“He is a really good resident, and he has a good relationship not only for the players we are crazy, but also with their families,” said Sarkissian. “It is very associated with high school coaches, so it is active on that front.”
Sarkisian will choose and choose other employees to send. He said that some will be on the road one day, not the next, or any of the days they see appropriate.
