AUSTIN, Texas — The No. 7 Texas Longhorns are back at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and set to honor 23 seniors on Friday before facing off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the final Big 12 regular-season game for the Longhorns.
From the perspective of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, the Big 12 Championship game scenarios are simple — if the Longhorns win, they’re in. A loss clouds the picture significantly and ends any hope of moving up far enough in the College Football Playoff rankings to make the program’s first appearance among the final four.
