Texas football held several days of practice for media and fans to get updates on how the team is doing and injuries to key players on both sides of the ball ahead of the College Football Playoff national semifinals later this week.
Two starting pitchers could return from injury for Texas football vs. Ohio State in playoff semifinal at Cotton Bowl
Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns will face the Ohio State Buckeyes and head coach Ryan Day in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Cotton Bowl on Friday (January 10). Texas will hold several days of Cotton Bowl pregame practice at Jerry World in Arlington before Friday night’s game.
Texas was mostly healthy on both sides of the ball in a double overtime victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff at the Peach Bowl. The Longhorns were missing one key starter on the offensive line, and their starting wide receiver was making pitch counts.
But the Longhorns had time to rest and stay healthy for another 10 days after their thrilling double-OT playoff victory over Arizona State in Atlanta on New Year’s Day. It was also important for the starters on both sides of the ball for Texas, which saw heavy snaps in its third game since the start of December that went over four quarters.
Here are two important injury updates for the Longhorns heading into the National Playoff National Semifinals game against Ohio State on January 10th at the Cotton Bowl.
