## Resource

Texas Tech’s Joey McGuire is throwing down a bold challenge to Texas’ Steve Sarkisian, daring him to prove his backup players can dominate Tech’s schedule — and even offering to pay off both teams’ Week 1 opponents to force a showdown. Sparked by Sarkisian’s jab about the Big 12’s ease compared to the SEC, McGuire’s move blends fiery rivalry with real logistics, including fan-funded help for Texas’ opponent. With a potential $2.4 million price tag and a chance to rewrite the narrative after a 50-point loss, this isn’t just trash talk — it’s a high-stakes game plan to settle the score.
