Steve Sarkisian’s Jab at TTU Backfires Via Cody Campbell’s Challenge
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian took a jab at Texas Tech on Thursday. He was immediately called out by Cody Campbell.
Steve Sarkisian wasn’t happy when Texas was left out of the College Football Playoff with a No. 13 ranking and a 9-3 record. The Longhorns played a rigorous schedule that included Ohio State, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Texas A&M.
UT lost on the road to Ohio State and Georgia, but finished the regular season with a convincing 27-17 win at home over then-No. 3 Texas A&M. Texas’ 29-21 loss at Florida hurt Sarkisian’s argument.
It was an inexcusable defeat to start SEC play. The Gators fired head coach Billy Napier midseason and finished with a 4-8 record.
