Steve Sarkisian wants 20-30 touches per game for Bijan Robinson

For roughly nine months now, few conversations surrounding Texas Longhorns football have been as consistent as debates around the touches for running back Bijan Robinson, who never received more than 17 touches in a game during his freshman season.

So it was no surprise on Thursday when new head coach Steve Sarkisian fielded a question about Robinson’s touches early in his press conference to preview preseason camp.

Sarkisian said that he expects Robinson to average 20 touches per game and could have as many as 30 or as few as 13 or 15, depending on how each game develops.
