Texas Longhorns vs. Florida Gators: Live In-Game Updates

AUSTIN – The Texas Longhorns are back at DKR to host the Florida Gators for their fifth conference game of the season.

Although the Horns appeared to have bounced back from the loss to Georgia in the away game against Vanderbilt, there was still a lot that head coach Steve Sarkisian had to work on with his team.

The good news for the Horns was that safety Andrew Mukuba and wide receiver Isaiah Bond were removed from the final injury report, and defensive lineman Vernon Broughton was only out for the first half.

For Florida, quarterback DJ Laway will be a game-time decision, as will running back Montrell Johnson. But the biggest headlines for the Gators heading into the game were confirmation that controversial head coach Billy Napier will remain in the position next season.

Florida hasn’t had a great season and enters today’s game with a 4-4 record. Still, Sarkisian acknowledges some threats the Gators could pose, including defensive coverage.

“You know, they’re very physical at the line of scrimmage, and so I think they can use people in the secondary from a coverage perspective and mix and disguise coverages,” Sarkisian told the media on Wednesday. “But on the other hand, sometimes they’re going to be aggressive, they’re going to pressure you and they’re going to force the quarterback into bad decisions.”

Lagway seems to be warming up at DKR, and could take the field in half an hour.
