The national implications for the Texas football program after this game-changing victory it claimed in the Allstate Sugar Bowl over the Georgia Bulldogs won’t be known until the 2019 regular season kicks off. There are some areas that will see the impact of the Sugar Bowl win for Texas football implemented in the next few months. Looming storylines like relentless off-season hype and speculation and some likely additional success on the recruiting trail are going to be two of the areas where Texas football will see the immediate impact of the Sugar Bowl upset.
This is the first major postseason victory for the Texas football program since knocking off the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl, which capped a fantastic 2008 campaign that left a bad taste with this fan base.
