One of the most pressing issues revolves around Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas‘ standout left tackle, who suffered an ankle injury during the Longhorns‘ 17-7 win over Texas A&M. Banks, a cornerstone of Texas‘ offensive line, left the field early in the game, leaving fans and analysts questioning his availability for the crucial matchup.
Joe Cook, editor of Inside Texas, shed light on the situation, describing Banks‘ injury as a major concern. “He was in a boot and listed as questionable or probable. Sark doesn’t give much away, but it’s clear the team is cautious,” Cook explained.
Steve Sarkisian provided a glimmer of hope, noting that Banks had practiced earlier in the week. However, the nature of his participation remains unclear. “Sark’spretty coy; practice could mean anything from picking up pads to light drills,” Cook added.
Banks‘ absence would be a significant blow to Texas‘ offense, especially against a Georgia defense known for its physicality. Despite the uncertainty, Banks is reportedly pushing to play, even if not fully recovered.
