## Resource

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian sparked controversy by suggesting his backups could go undefeated and still make the playoffs against Texas Tech’s supposedly easy schedule — a comment that’s already ignited a wild plot twist. Texas Tech’s Joey McGuire reportedly reached out to his first two opponents, eyeing a Week 1 showdown with Texas instead of Abilene Christian and Texas State — even saying he’d love to play UT in the opener. With Texas dominating them 57-7 last year and continuing to outperform despite Tech’s big spending, Sarkisian’s confidence is palpable. While swapping schedules is practically impossible without conference and athletic department approvals, McGuire’s bold move has turned preseason chatter into a potential season-defining storyline — if it ever happens, it could be the ultimate test of Sarkisian’s claims.
