Inside the Numbers: Expect efficiency from Steve Sarkisian’s Texas offense

One of the earliest confirmations of Steve Sarkisian’s time with the Texas Longhorns were his intentions to be his own playcaller.

In fact, in his eight seasons as a head coach Steve Sarkisian was the primary playcaller in seven of those years, outside of his duties as the offensive coordinator for the USC Trojans and Alabama Crimson Tide. Which is part of the appeal of the hire by Texas — bringing in the offensive mind that has been at the helm of several cutting-edge offenses.

It’s hard to entirely base an assessment of Sarkisian on his most recent work, as the last two Alabama offenses were two of the most-efficient and effective offenses in recent memory.
