Before the Big 12 Championship, Steve Sarkisian updates the Texas Longhorns’ injury report – CFB Tracker
Stay informed about the most recent events pertaining to college football and the Texas Longhorns.
Jordan Out on November 30 In a media conference on Thursday, Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian gave an update on his injuries in front of Saturday’s Big 12 championship game in Arlington against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Austin Jordan, the cornerback, will be absent for the game, according to Sarkisian, but Xavier Worthy seems to be fit to play.
On Monday, Ryan Watts was marked as questionable; as of Thursday, he is still listed as questionable.
“Everybody else is pretty status quo from what I touched on on Monday.”
Watts was hurt on the opening play of Friday’s 57-7 victory over Texas Tech. Two different times, Worthy needed assistance being helped to the sidelines, and Murphy was hurt by friendly fire on the sidelines.
PAUL, SAY WHAT ON NOV. 29? This weekend, the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma State Cowboys will battle for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
The Horns will probably need to lose to Florida State in addition to defeating Oklahoma State in order to remain in the conversation.
In that case, Texas ought to be admitted. Paul Finebaum, though, believes otherwise if Alabama defeats Georgia in the SEC Championship game.
“I think Texas and Alabama are very close,” Finebaum stated on ESPN’s Get Up. “There’s only one reason I’ll give Alabama the advantage, and that’s because they would have triumphed over the nation’s largest bully. Though I think Alabama is a better team than Georgia when it comes to college football, that September 9 game still holds significance for me.”
Finebaum tried to ignore the game in Tuscaloosa, but the Horns defeated Alabama in the head-to-head match by double digits. And we can’t overlook that.
Additionally, Texas beats Alabama in almost every category according to ESPN’s FPI rankings, which consider every aspect of a team’s resume.
Having said that, if Texas or Alabama lose on Saturday, none of it will matter.
Nov. 27, RESTORED RIVALRY The date of the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies’ rekindled rivalry has been announced, per a report by ESPN’s Chris Low.
According to Low, the Aggies and Longhorns will play their final regular-season game in College Station on Saturday, Nov. 30.
Said in a Low Voice:
“After a 12-year break, Texas and Texas A&M will resume their rivalry next season. The game, which will conclude the regular season, is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 30, in College Station. Texas and Texas A&M have customarily squared off on Thanksgiving Day or the Friday following Thanksgiving.”
The Aggies and Longhorns have not faced off on the gridiron since 2011, when the Longhorns won 27-25 on a walk-off field goal.
Texas will also reportedly play Georgia on Oct. 19 and Arkansas on Nov. 16.
NOV 27 TEXAS INJURY REPORT Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian provided an injury update when speaking to the media on Monday ahead of Saturday’s Big 12 title game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Arlington.
Ryan Watts and Austin Jordan, both defensive backs, are dubious, according to Sarkisian. Additionally, he stated that receiver Xavier Worthy will be “good to go” and quarterback Maalik Murphy practised on Monday.
Watts was hurt on the opening play of Friday’s 57-7 victory over Texas Tech. Two different times, Worthy needed assistance being helped to the sidelines, and Murphy was hurt by friendly fire on the sidelines.
BIG 12 TITLE SET OF NOV. 25 The Texas Longhorns have secured a Big 12 Championship berth after decisively defeating the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
They now know that the Oklahoma State Cowboys will be their opponent.
After defeating the BYU Cougars on Saturday, the Cowboys secured a trip to Arlington thanks to a tiebreaker victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, whom they had previously defeated this season.
Texas and Oklahoma State will play their first game of the season and their final meeting as conference rivals in this Big 12 championship match.
November 24, CJ Baxter Sick Against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Texas Longhorns have sustained yet another potentially significant injury. On the attacking end of the ball, this time.
CJ Baxter, a rookie running back, left the game early in the third quarter due to an unspecified injury. Baxter was able to leave the field on his own, but he moved carefully.
