WATCH: Steve Sarkisian releases hype video for Orange and White game

Team Orange will play against Team White in Saturday’s spring game. Steve Sarkisian posted a hype video to his Twitter to prepare UT fans.

After a long spring, one that included a pause due to COVID-19, the annual spring game is set to kick off on Saturday. Team Orange and Team White will be squaring off in a different format under Steve Sarkisian.

The former Alabama offensive coordinator is taking a page out of Nick Saban’s book to organize his spring game teams. The first-team offense is on Team Orange along with the second-team defense, while the second-team offense and first-team defense are on Team White. This allows the ones and twos to match up against each other.

You can check out the rosters here. Casey Thompson will suit up for Team Orange, while Hudson Card will be on Team White – something to monitor throughout the game.

Sarkisian posted a hype video on Friday to prepare Texas fans for the spring game. To nobody’s surprise, the end of the video features Bijan Robinson in open space.

You can watch it below:

The game will kick off at 1 p.m. CT. There will be plenty of storylines to emerge with most focusing on the play of the two quarterbacks. A few players will need to perform well to move up the depth chart, as there are a few starting jobs available.

Reggie Bush deserves his welcome back to USC after absurd ban

Reggie Bush is finally back.

Reggie Bush is one of the best college football players ever and probably one of the best five or six players to ever put on a USC uniform.

But if you looked through the university’s records at any point over the last decade, they act like he never existed. Literally. His Heisman space from 2005 is “vacant.”

That’s because USC was sanctioned by the NCAA over “improper benefits” received by Bush’s family while he attended the school.

As punishment, USC vacated everything from Bush’s time at the school — wins, bowls, trophies. Name the accompishment, it doesn’t exist. That includes Bush’s Heisman trophy win. Bush himself was also banned from the university in 2010. In addition, the program received a two-year bowl ban , and lost 30 scholarships over a three-year period.

Now, all of that is water under the bridge.

The university welcomed officially welcomed him back on Wednesday. USC made it official with a video.

It’s good to see USC welcoming Bush back after all he did for the university and how good he actually was. It’s been passed time to welcome him back.

It stinks that they actually had to ban him in the first place.

Bush was in a situation where he needed money. He was strapped for cash and his family needed a bit of help with the rent. There’s nothing wrong with trying to help out, but he was punished for that. And that’s terrible.

And besides, he wasn’t even paid what he was worth. He made USC about $4 million, The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman. He was only hoping for an extra $25,000 from the school.

This welcome back for Bush is more than deserved. He quite literally earned it. Just give him the Heisman back.
