Texas HC Steve Sarkisian says Casey Thompson is still the starter going forward.

Sark said the plan was to mix things up on the O-line in the Oklahoma State game. He hopes Tope Imade gains a comfort level and improves. Left tackle (Christian Jones and Andrej Karic) will be monitored leading up to the Baylor game. #HookEm

Sarkisian on the bye: "We do, as a staff, dig into Baylor from a game plan standpoint and we will sprinkle some of those things throughout the practice, but the majority of the practice is making sure we recapture our fundamentals and techniques."

Sark: Level of frustration for all of us. We’re plenty capable to compete at a very high level with leads in the 4th quarter against 2 top 10 teams. It’s not about our ability to coach or play, it’s about our ability to sustain. @KXAN_News pic.twitter.com/5TFUIdIaiy
