AUSTIN, Texas — Time to sideline Sideshow Bert?
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian doesn’t believe so after junior place kicker Bert Auburn missed field-goal attempts of 50 yards wide left and 47 yards wide right in Saturday’s win over the Kansas Jayhawks, bringing the number of misses by Auburn to five this season, matching his total from a promising 2022 campaign during which Auburn replaced Cameron Dicker, the school leader in career field goals made and points by a kicker.
Asked about whether he’s considering making a change at the position, Sarkisian was blunt and concise during his Monday press conference.
