Texas Tech Ready to Face Longhorns After Sarkisian Trash Talk

Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire is set to confront Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian after the latter’s recent criticism of the Red Raiders.

Steve Sarkisian’s remarks about Texas Tech’s Big 12 competition have ignited a fire‑exchange, with Joey McGuire declaring his team will face the Longhorns in 2026. The Red Raiders, who went 11‑1 in 2025 and earned a CFP berth, are eager to test their mettle against Texas, who finished 10‑3 and missed the playoffs.

Both programs have agreed to play each other in the 2026 season, with Texas Tech hosting Abilene Christian on Sept. 5 and Texas opening against Texas State on the same date. The matchup promises a high‑stakes clash between the two teams’ latest head coaches. akupunkturabielsko.pl
