Justin in LIVE: Steve Sarkisian has finally opens the door of hope after assembling” the squad for a serious tasks as he declear” his major shocking goal” for Texas Longhorns season” here is sarkisian surprised different plans
Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of Texas football, is constant in his goals and language, if that’s one thing you can say about him.
Sarkisian has made it apparent that he has been assembling a team to be prepared for the SEC battle ever since he took over as head coach in Austin.
Sarkisian was aware that he needed a team that could defeat the SEC in order to assemble a national championship-winning squad even before the Longhorns’ admission to the conference was announced in the summer of 2021.
Therefore, Sarkisian hasn’t skipped a beat when talking about where his program is at and what the goals are for the season, despite two weeks of play on the gridiron that was anything but consistent.
“As we move into this bye, I was thinking, ‘Well, we’re 7-1, we’ve played eight games so far, and the objective is to be playing on January 20,'” Sarkisian stated on Monday. Additionally, you must play at least eight more games if you choose to play on January 20.
From this perspective, we are halfway through and, depending on how things turn out, we may need to play nine.
Though the Longhorns have already played 75% of their regular season games in 2024, Sarkisian isn’t taking this bye week as one to rally his players into a strong finish.
This is just a stopping point for the head coach on the way to what might be almost three more months of football.
The math does work out in Sarkisian’s favor. Say Texas were to hit the ground running out of the bye, defeating Florida, Arkansas in Fayetteville, Kentucky and Texas A&M in College Station.
The Longhorns would likely be playing in the SEC Championship game. That’s five games even before the College Football Playoff starts.
“I was thinking to myself as we headed into this bye, ‘Okay, we’re 7-1, we’re eight games into the season, and the goal is to be playing January 20,'” Sarkisian stated on Monday.
“And you’re playing at least eight more games if you want to play on January 20.” Now if you look at it this way, we are halfway through and, depending on how things go, we may have to play nine.
Despite the fact that the Longhorns have already participated in 75% of their 2024 regular season games, Sarkisian is not using this bye week to motivate his team to finish strongly. For the head coach, this is merely a stopover before what could be nearly three more months of football.
The math does work out in Sarkisian’s favor. Say Texas were to hit the ground running out of the bye, defeating Florida, Arkansas in Fayetteville, Kentucky and Texas A&M in College Station. The Longhorns would likely be playing in the SEC Championship game. That’s five games even before the College Football Playoff starts.
If the Longhorns didn’t win the SEC Championship and weren’t granted a bye in the first round, they would have to win their first-round matchup, then a quarterfinal game, then the CFP semifinal and finally the national championship on January 20. If Texas were to run the table, that’s nine more games left on this schedule.
And Sarkisian’s strategy has been constant: to make this team a national champion. The rhetoric and narrative presented here are not just coach talk from an overconfident, egotistical offensive coordinator. It embodies the success-oriented culture that Sarkisian has established in Austin.
Even though the Longhorns qualified for the College Football Playoffs the previous season, it’s clear why this year is thought to have Texas’ greatest opportunity to win the golden trophy during Sarkisian’s brief stint.
Texas was ranked fourth going into the season. Quinn Ewers, a fourth-year quarterback, was returning, and the Longhorns had just added six transfers from the top 100 and three consecutive top-six recruiting classes to fill in need.
None of the aforementioned eventualities are guaranteed to occur. The Longhorns lost a lot of potential title buzz after losing their two biggest tests of the SEC season so far, 42-54, and have been among the most unimpressive teams in elite college football for the past two weeks.
However, Sarkisian lives up to his rhetoric and intends to reclaim the top spot in college football rankings before the season concludes. Work weeks until mid-January are included in those plans.
With Isaiah Bond and Andrew Mukuba hopefully making a comeback against Florida, Sarkisian will be able to rally a team beset by injuries.
In addition, he will have to decide who should play throughout the most important parts of future games. Sarkisian has built one of the deepest teams in the country, with more than 40 players playing 100 or more plays this season.
