Texas Longhorns vs. Florida Gators: Live in-game updates

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

Although the Horns seemed to have recovered from the loss to Georgia in the road game against Vanderbilt, there was still a lot of work that head coach Steve Sarkisian needed to work on with his team.

Good news for the Horns is that safety Andrew Mukuba and wide receiver Isaiah Bond were removed from the latest injury report and defensive lineman Vernon Broughton is only out for the first half.

For Florida, quarterback DJ Lagway will be a game-changing decision, as will running back Montrell Johnson. But the biggest headline for the Gators before the game was confirmation that controversial head coach Billy Napier will remain in charge next season.

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

“You know, they’re very physical on the front lines, and for that reason I think they can use guys in the secondary from a coverage standpoint and mix coverages and obscure coverages,” Sarkisian told the media Wednesday. “But on the other hand, sometimes they will be aggressive, pressure you and force the quarterback to make some bad decisions.”

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