Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian draws plenty of opinions from college football observers. The spectrum ranges from unabashed apologists to vehement detractors.
The reality of the situation is Sarkisian has a ton of potential. He’s shown it in flashes through his first two seasons.

The bar for success involves 10-win seasons.
The Texas coach has, however, displayed glimpses of what he can do in his short time in Austin. Sarkisian has compiled historic individual game performances and hit a few significant landmarks early in his tenure on the Forty Acres.
In the past we’ve noted accomplishments he’s already hit. Let’s look at a few more we might have missed.
