I\u2019m not ready to make that diagnosis. Feel optimistic,\u201d Sarkisian said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Against the Bulldogs, Hill finished with six tackles (three), a half tackle for loss, and an interception that led to the only touchdown scored by the Longhorns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Texas depth chart lists freshman Bo Barnes as the backup to Hill, but if the team\u2019s leading tackler isn\u2019t available in Saturday\u2019s rivalry game against Arkansas in Austin, the Horns are more likely to turn to sophomore Ty\u2019Anthony Smith or redshirt senior Trey Moore. Smith led Texas with nine tackles against Georgia, including two tackles for loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cAs badly as I want Anthony Hill to play, the guys in our room are good enough to beat anybody in the country. So as much as Ant Hill helps us, we know that it\u2019s a next-guy mentality,\u201d Texas redshirt senior safety Michael Taaffe said on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 According to a report from Horns247, Texas Longhorns junior linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. suffered a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53425,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,536,6467],"class_list":{"0":"post-53424","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-austin","8":"tag-austin","9":"tag-austin-headlines","10":"tag-austin-news","11":"tag-texas-longhorns-football","12":"tag-texas-longhorns-football-injuries"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53424\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
