Sarkisian credits trust, confidence, and versatility in upset over No. 3 Alabama

It is perhaps the biggest win for the Texas Longhorns on the gridiron since Vince Young or Colt McCoy roamed the sidelines. It is without a doubt the signature win for Steve Sarkisian in his short time as the head coach of the Longhorns.

In a highly anticipated rematch against his former boss and in his old stadium, Sark and the Longhorns did what no other opponent had done to Nick Saban in 17 years.

Win by double-digits in Tuscaloosa.

Sarkisian credited trust between the players and coaches, versatility on the team, and a mental toughness and confidence that pushed the Longhorns to a 34-24 victory over the Crimson Tide.
