Sarkisian: Texas to 'evaluate everything' after loss to Florida - ESPN

AUSTIN, Texas — After a Florida team on a two-game losing streak playing with its backup quarterback came into Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and upset No. 7 Texas 27-24, Steve Sarkisian said everything is up for consideration when it comes to righting the struggling Longhorns.

«Obviously, I'm extremely disappointed,» Sarkisian said. «We didn't play very good football today, outside about the first quarter. We kind of bled out.»

The Longhorns ran just 50 offensive plays, their fewest since Sarkisian arrived at Texas. Arch Manning was sacked five times and had just 68 passing yards in the first half. He finished with 173 yards and a touchdown, but also lost a key fumble on a sack with 1:58 left, which was recovered by Florida's Kanye Clark and allowed the Gators to finish off the win.

The loss was a stunner; Florida quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. was making his first career start, and the Gators came into the game with the 110th-ranked defense. Jones finished 22-of-35 with 155 passing yards and two touchdowns and added 10 carries for 41 yards. The loss ended a 22-game home winning streak vs. unranked teams for Texas, which became just the third team in AP Poll history, since 1936, to be ranked No. 1 and then lose consecutive games to unranked opponents, according to ESPN Research.

Sarkisian was stark in his response.

«We're not playing very good football right now,» he said. «I have to evaluate everything. It's gonna be a long night.»

The Longhorns weren't able to sustain drives, and Sarkisian was asked if he had considered making a change at quarterback to give someone another look.

«Everything means everything,» he said. «It would be easy for me to say, 'Hey, Arch was the problem today.' Was Arch perfect? No. But
