Steve Sarkisian Says Texas-Texas A&M Rivalry "Deserves The Spotlight To Stand Alone"

Speaking to the media this week, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian previewed the Longhorns' rivalry matchup against Texas A&M.

Kickoff on Friday night from Austin is at 6:30 p.m. on ABC.

While the game is just one of many rivalaries playing out this weekend, Sarkisian said it deserves the spotlight to stand alone, like it will on Friady night. Per On3:

“I like that (for) this game that we get an opportunity to stand alone,” Sarkisian said. “Okay, so whether it’s Thanksgiving or Friday after Thanksgiving, I just think this game deserves the spotlight to stand alone, and the fact that we’re playing on Friday night with all the eyes of college football on it, really the football world on this game. I think this game deserves that. So whatever that looks like. Again, I’m not the decision maker on that. But I do think this is a great opportunity for us.

“You know, last year we were a Saturday night game, and we were up against some other games. So this year, being Friday night, I think it is good for the game.”
