Overview

• Steve Sarkisian said RB Quintrevion Wisner was held out for a leg issue and to give carries to Christian Clark and Jerrick Gibson.
• DT Alex January was also held out, with Sarkisian pointing to a deep defensive line and a long-view approach on player health.
• WR DeAndre Moore Jr. exited after a right-shoulder hit, EDGE Colin Simmons left with a shoulder issue but said he was fine, and S Michael Taaffe hobbled off with a lower-body knock.
• On3/Inside Texas reported minutes before kickoff that Wisner, January, Colin Page, and Isaiah Coleman were not dressed, drawing fan criticism over the timing versus prior official reports.
• Texas beat San Jose State 38-7, with Clark and Gibson combining for 14 of the 27 running back carries in relief.
