Even for Texas, the preseason hype has reached uncharted territory. Why is this year different?
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian, quarterback Quinn Ewers and wide receiver Jordan Whittington discussed a loaded roster and clear focus at Wednesday's Big 12 Media Days at AT&T Stadium.
ARLINGTON, TX – Steve Sarkisian showed his Texas players two PowerPoint slides before they left for the Big 12 Media Days at AT&T Stadium on Wednesday. On the first slide were all the headlines crowning the Longhorns as the most talented team in the conference. The second slide contained news grabs predicting Texas once again wouldn't be able to live up to the hype.
The message? Preseason accolades don't matter. Sarkisian's group is comfortable shouldering the pressure of being picked to win the Big 12 for the first time since 2009.
