Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian takes the mic in Arlington to speak to Big 12 media on Wednesday. It is perhaps his most anticipated interview since taking over the head coaching position in Austin.
Sarkisian believes this group looks like his team. The motivation is there for Longhorns players with the development to capitalize on that motivation. The question Texas faithful want answered is whether or not this team can beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. It is the regular season game of the century for the Longhorns, and I’m not sure it’s close.
Texas needs to turn the corner as a program. Nothing would build momentum more than beating the team and coach that sent the Longhorns into the wilderness for more than a decade.
It’s unclear what we will learn from the media session. Albeit, if Big 12 media does its job, we’ll learn something about Sarkisian’s approach to the Alabama game. We believe Texas can beat Alabama. The real question is, can Texas beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa at night? Wednesday’s press conference should continue to build intrigue for the pivotal matchup.
