The college football bowl season is upon us and after failing to reach the postseason in Steve Sarkisian’s first season on the Forty Acres, the No. 20 Texas Longhorns (8-4) are once again headed to the Alamo Bowl to square off with the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2).
Texas’ Alamo Bowl appearance comes as the reward of a three-game improvement in 2022 that saw the Horns’ finish the regular season at 8-4 and ranked in every major poll. As is, that three-win improvement from 5-7 and the trip to the Alamo Bowl marks a notable step forward for Sark’s program in Year 2, and a potential loss likely wouldn’t have much of an impact on that perception of progress.
