All I know is we play the teams that are in front of us, and they're good. So I don't know if people don't think they're good or not. That's not for me to decide. We just try to play our best football that we can.

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian shared a joke with his team Monday morning as the Longhorns began preparations for a trip to Arkansas. "I don't know what (former Texas coach) Darrell Royal did to Arkansas back in the day, but they absolutely hate our guts," Sarkisian said. "And I think we learned that the first time around when we went there."

The most obvious example came in the first quarter when Sarkisian settled on a play that called for a faked sweep and inside handoff to dress up an end-around for Isaiah Bond. Tyreek Sapp, manning the edge for Florida, bit on the play fake, leaving Bond out in space with a convoy in front of him.
