The Inside Texas press conference reaction, hosted by Joe Cook and Evan Vieth, focused on Texas Longhorns football and their upcoming game against Georgia.

Steve Sarkisian discussed key topics including the development of defensive standout Colin Simmons, the strengths and styles of both Texas and Georgia defenses, and the challenges presented by Georgia’s offensive line. Simmons, after an initially overzealous start to the season, has matured into a highly effective pass rusher and run stopper, showing significant improvement and impact in recent games, especially the Florida matchup.

The discussion also touched on the effectiveness of Georgia’s linebackers, noting their ability to disrupt plays despite not producing high sack or tackle-for-loss statistics this season. A notable point was Sarkisian’s critique of the SEC scheduling format, particularly the imbalance in out-of-conference games among SEC teams, which he argues creates uneven competitive conditions and affects team health and playoff perceptions.

Sarkisian hopes the upcoming nine-game SEC schedule will address these inconsistencies.
