In addition to the five players hurt against the Bulldogs, Texas is also missing All-American EDGE Colin Simmons, EDGE Richard Wesley and offensive tackle Trevor Goosby. Goosby is out for the season. Texas is hoping Simmons can return in the next week or two.
"What's going to be the emphasis for this week? One of them is getting these guys back," Sarkisian said postgame. "As many of these guys as we can get back, the better we're going to be. That recovery has to start now for a lot of these guys."
Texas travels to Missouri next week to take on the No. 23 ranked Tigers in Columbia.
