No. 3 Texas will make their long awaited College Football Playoff debut on Monday night.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian hopes to lead his team to the national championship game in his third year with the program. First, the Longhorns will have to defeat a very talented Washington team in the Sugar Bowl.
Much has been said about Washington quarterback Michael Penix, and rightfully so, but Texas boasts a lethal passing attack as well. The game will very likely come down to whether or not Texas is able to put pressure on Penix consistently.
Many Texas fans and former players are anxiously awaiting the kickoff at 7:45 p.m. CT. Here’s a look at pregame social media buzz ahead of the anticipated matchup.
