This week, the Texas football team will get some time off.
Coming off its 27-24 win Saturday at Vanderbilt, Texas is on a bye this week. So instead of preparing for its next opponent, Texas can instead focus this week on rest and recruiting.
“We’ve got things that we need to work on schematically. We’ve got things we need to work on philosophically that are true to our program. We’ve got things to work on for individual players, whether they’re a young player or a veteran player that we need to get healthy,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday. “But all-in-all, proud through eight games to be where we’re at. We know our best football’s still ahead of us, and now it’s our job to get that out of everybody so that we can play the best football we need to play that is required in November.”
Texas is ranked No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released next Tuesday.

Does Texas play this week?
No. The Longhorns are off this week. This is the second bye on UT’s schedule as the Longhorns were also idle during the week after the Mississippi State game Sept. 28.
Following the bye, Texas (7-1, 3-1) will close out the regular season with four straight games against Florida (4-3, 2-2), Arkansas (5-3, 3-2), Kentucky (3-5, 1-5) and Texas A&M (7-1, 5-0). The Florida and Kentucky games will take place at Royal-Memorial Stadium. The Longhorns will visit their old rivals at Arkansas and Texas A&M.
