FOX Sports picks up TV rights to Texas vs. Alabama

The highly anticipated Sept. 10 matchup between Texas and Alabama will take place on FOX Sports. 

Anytime two blue blood programs face off in college football it builds plenty of excitement.

Nick Saban will bring his Crimson Tide to Austin to battle it out against his former offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian in Week 2 of the 2022 season.

The highly anticipated Sept. 10 matchup between Texas and Alabama will take place on FOX Sports. A potential Big Noon Kickoff time would mean an uncomfortably hot football game as temperatures will likely be close to triple-digits.

 

Alabama is fresh off an SEC championship and a national title loss to Georgia. The Tide returns the 2021 Heisman trophy winner Bryce Young and the best pass rusher in the nation in Will Anderson. Alabama is currently the odds on favorites to win the national championship in 2022.

Texas will have the chance to prove to the college football world the disappointing 2021 season is behind them with a strong showing in Week 2. Bijan Robinson and Xavier Worthy return along with a talented group of transfers to make up what should be an explosive offense. The defense will benefit from another year in Pete Kwiatkowski’s system.

Everything Steve Sarkisian said after the loss to Oklahoma State

Check out everything Steve Sarkisian told the media after Texas’ loss to Oklahoma State.

Seven weeks into the Steve Sarkisian era and the results have been mixed. Wins against Louisiana and TCU have brought hope, while the three losses make you think nothing has really changed.

Texas held a two-touchdown lead at one point but was never able to put Oklahoma State to bed. A fantastic second-half defensive performance from defensive coordinator Jim Knowles kept the Cowboys in the game, where the rushing game put it on ice.

The 32-24 loss puts Texas at a major disadvantage within the Big 12 race. Both the Oklahoma schools now have direct paths to Arlington. One would have to lose three games while the Longhorns win out.

Sarkisian faced the media after the game, giving updates and his thoughts about the loss. Injury status was given on LB DeMarvion Overshown, along with the head coaches’ opinion on the quarterback play.
