Steve Sarkisian: Texas Football Has Adopted 'John Wick Mentality' Entering 2023

Texas is back.

And the team is ready to "embrace the hate" from the Big 12 in its final season with the conference.

"I think this team is on a mission, they've taken this mindset of being on a mission. They've kind of adopted the John Wick mentality," head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters.

"I think that they've kind of assumed this mentality of, 'Embrace the hate.' We get it. We're the University of Texas, we get it. This is our last year in the Big 12. We can sit there and be a punching bag, or we can go attack the people that we're going to play.
