Head coach Steve Sarkisian met with the media on Monday to preview this week’s top-25 match-up between the Texas Longhorns and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Here are a few notes from Sark’s press conference:

Inconsistency on offense: “Inconsistency early on” hurt the Texas offense from the jump. It started with an opening drive that ended on the Texas 33-yard line following a failed fourth-down conversion.
