To say the very least, No. 15 ranked Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian did not get off to the strongest start on the night of Sep. 11 on the road against the upstart Arkansas Razorbacks and head coach Sam Pittman. Texas looked like a different team (and not in a good way) in the first half against Pittman’s Arkansas team that was much more prepared and motivated in this game out of the gates.
But this matchup between the Longhorns and Razorbacks had a lot on the line not just due to the circumstances for each team this season.
