Steve Sarkisian said Monday that Texas running back Quintrevion Wisner is not out for Saturday’s game versus UTEP, but he would label Wisner doubtful if he had to provide a designation.

“I’d probably say today, he’s doubtful,” Sarkisian said. “I’m not ruling him out. At this juncture of the season, I’m just not in a rush to push guys back out there if they’re not as close to 100% or closer. I just know how long this thing goes. I know what it’s going to look like in October, November, December, and hopefully January.

“Is the juice worth the squeeze right now? For Saturday, we’re rehabbing them. We’re trying to get him ready to go and then we’ll make a decision as we get closer to the ball game of what that looks like.”

On Saturday, Sarkisian mentioned the injury to Wisner allowed for him to play other running backs.

“Tre (Wisner), he’s got a leg injury. We held him today,” Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said. “We just didn’t think it was the right thing to do to force the issue with him. I wanted Christian (Clark) to play more, I wanted Jerrick (Gibson) to get opportunities, and so it worked out for us that way.”

During week one’s game for the Longhorns at Ohio State, Wisner rushed 16 times for 80 yards. Last year he rushed 226 times for 1064 yards with five scores and added 44 catches for 311 yards and a touchdown.

On Saturday in Wisner’s stead, CJ Baxter rushed 13 times for 64 yards. Gibson rushed 7 times for 38 yards. He also fumbled the ball once. Clark rushed 7 times for 21 yards.

Texas is set to take on UTEP on Saturday in Austin at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The game will kick at 3:15 p.m. and air on SEC Network.
