Several Texas players said that talk of a possible boycott was real, but that there’s no way they would have followed through with it.

“Yeah, it was real, but we’re not going to boycott,” Texas senior receiver Jacorey Warrick said Monday. “We’re going to play. That was just people angry about expressing their thoughts. Coach Strong was not going to let us boycott that game.”

Quarterback Shane Buechele echoed those thoughts about a boycott.

“It’s not going to happen,” the freshman said.

Offensive tackle Connor Williams explained that it was just a volatile situation involving Strong.

“Everybody’s emotional about it,” Williams said. “As a point, we’re not just playing for Coach Strong. We’re playing for the university as a whole and Longhorn Nation.”
