Steve Sarkisian has already started his campaign for Texas Longhorns with ridiculous ‘big game’ comments

Texas beat Missouri 34–20 on the road, and head coach Steve Sarkisian called the Longhorns “big game hunters” after the win. The article argues that his comments portray Texas as an overlooked underdog despite the programme’s resources and high expectations, and contrasts them with his earlier complaints about how a loss to Ohio State affected Texas’s playoff case.

Sarkisian said he heard doubts about Texas’s toughness before the game, and praised the team’s response after falling behind early. The article describes Missouri as a strong, top-25-level opponent, but also points to disputed officiating calls that it says helped Texas during a drive that ended in a touchdown.
