The Texas Longhorns were unusually apprehensive in the Sugar Bowl against the Washington Huskies, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian.
“For some reason, we had some uncharacteristic anxiousness at the line of scrimmage,” Sarkisian remarked, according to On3. “We had a number of guys who had received false start penalties. Those are challenging because we’re trying to — let’s go to second and fifth so we can operate. Then there’s a false start, and it’s back to 2nd and 10. It’s fine if you do something on the first and tenth. Then you make a bad start, and it’s 2nd and 15. Those were some of the things that disappointed me.
“I don’t know if that’s because of the layoff,” Sarkisian subsequently said. “Sometimes, being in the atmosphere makes you want to go play. But I believe we recovered effectively from those events.
