You can’t spell Lincoln Riley without two L’s.

Bowl season approaches as Army and Navy will wrap up the regular season this weekend. Plenty of stories bring intrigue into multiple games.

The Longhorns will face a Washington program to which Steve Sarkisian and Pete Kwiatkowski have deep ties.

Sarkisian was the head coach at Washington before departing for USC. Not long afterward, Kwiatkowski became the defensive coordinator at Washington where his defensive expertise grew to fame.

Among other storylines, the Longhorns are back in the Alamo Bowl. It’s the third straight time their bowl designation has sent them to San Antonio.

Texas (8-4) will face a very losable game against the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2). Led by Indiana quarterback transfer Michael Penix, the Huskies will provide a tough challenge for Kwiatkowski and company.

Here are ten of the biggest storylines heading into the games.
