Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is glad his team is opening the season with a road trip to Ohio State.
He believes the matchup between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Coaches Poll is “great for college football,” describing it as an “epic matchup.” Sarkisian knows his team is in for a big challenge trying to earn a win in the Shoe, especially after the Longhorns’ loss to Ohio State in last year’s College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl, but he views the big test to start the season as a net positive, believing both teams will ultimately be rewarded for playing each other to start the season.
