Malcolm Roach – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Malcolm Roach, who suffered a broken foot in the second quarter of Texas’ 37-13 win over Southern California on Saturday, will have surgery this week and miss six to eight weeks. Roach, the junior from Baton Rouge, had eight tackles, one of them solo, over Texas’ first three games.
Sam Ehlinger – Noteworthy
QB Sam Ehlinger, a sophomore, has taken every snap at the position this year after he and junior Shane Buechele split the starting position last season. He finished 15-of-33 for 223 yards with two touchdowns and ran for 35 yards and another score in the win over USC. Ehlinger played well overall, taking a handful of chances downfield against the Trojan defense that produced big plays while running 17 times when the defense bailed out in coverage.
Zach Shackelford – Noteworthy – Injury
C Zach Shackelford would be listed as doubtful to play against TCU, but coach Tom Herman said Shackelford is working his way back from a foot injury. “He’s still having some pain but he’s going to try,” the coach explained. “What that means I don’t know yet. If we had to play today, he certainly could not play.”
