Texas plans to continue rotation at left guard position
Summary

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian intends to maintain a rotation at left guard following the team's 59-7 win over Texas State. Sophomore Dylan Sikorski and sixth-year player Laurence Seymore split snaps during the game, with Sikorski taking 33 snaps and Seymore seeing 36. Sikorski earned the start on the depth chart after Seymore missed practice time due to eligibility issues and an early injury. While both players maintained clean pass-protection records, Sikorski held a statistical advantage in run blocking. Texas will test this configuration during their upcoming matchup against No. 1 Ohio State. The coaching staff expects the rotation to persist until one player establishes clear separation at the position.
