eeb57da985367366a43a18b853579ce06137dcddby Associated PressTexas coach Steve Sarkisian touts Longhorns' 7-1 record and win over No. 8 Alabama ahead of first College Football Playoff rankings, faces No. 25 Kansas State next. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian wants everyone to remember the Longhorns' resume ahead of the first College Football Playoff rankings this week.
"I haven't shied away from this: I think we've got a pretty good football team," Sarkisian said Monday. "I'd argue we have the best win in the country right now. The fact that we go into Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and beat a team that was 52-1 in the previous 53 games going in there. I hear so much about how tough the SEC is, but I haven't seen any of those teams go into Alabama and win either.
The win over Alabama certainly created a lot of buzz about Texas at the time. The problem for the Longhorns is that the win was almost two months ago. A lot of time has passed and there have been other big games to attract eyeballs. "We're a very versatile team. We started our backup quarterback against a 5-2 team and won 35-6. We get another opportunity this week to play with our backup quarterback. Not every team out has had to endure what we've had to. If they had their backup, how would they play?" Sarkisian said.
