Texas football and new head coach Steve Sarkisian have an important battle looming in the Big 12 opener this weekend against head coach Matt Wells and the seemingly improved Texas Tech Red Raiders. In really the second at least decently challenging opposition from the Power Five that Texas has faced this season, Texas Tech won’t be an easy game to win to start off the Big 12 slate.
We will see the second career start for redshirt junior quarterback Casey Thompson for the Longhorns against Tech this weekend. Thompson got his first career start in a dominant win for the Longhorns last weekend at home over the Rice Owls, by the final score of 58-0.
