""Probably wouldn't be fair to these guys to say, you know, our culture is perfect right now," Sarkisian said Monday. "They're all -- they're due to do the right things. They were great today. They came in, they were coachable. They took to the tough coaching from Saturday. So their mindset is all there, so that tells me the culture's right. But at the end of the day, we got to play together as a team Saturday.""
""I don't know if I'm stunned," he responded. "I mean, take the other -- how many teams are there in college football? 136. Take the other 135 and have them go play at Ohio State and at the Swamp. See how they do.""
Steve Sarkisian defended Texas culture and praised the team's mindset and coachability ahead of the Red River Rivalry. He acknowledged the culture is not perfect but asserted players were doing the right things and responding to tough coaching. Texas fell to 3-2 after a 29-21 loss at Florida, dropped out of the AP poll, and saw College Football Playoff chances fall to 22%. The Longhorns hold a 3-8 record against AP top-10 teams under Sarkisian. Sarkisian accepted responsibility for the slow start and emphasized focus, accountability, and leading by example.
