Texas Will ‘Have a Shot Every Year’ to Compete For Championships

Three years ago, Texas Longhorns football faced uncertainty, having recently parted ways with Tom Herman and dealing with program culture challenges. The arrival of Steve Sarkisian marked a turning point, leading to a Big 12 championship, a College Football Playoff appearance, and three consecutive top-5 recruiting classes. Despite notable departures from the roster, including key offensive and defensive players, Sarkisian’s foundational work positions Texas well for its debut season in SEC play, according to 247Sports analyst Josh Pate. The program’s consistent improvement under Sarkisian’s leadership and strong recruiting suggest sustained competitiveness in the college football landscape.
