Texas Tech Coach Challenges Longhorns to Week 1 Game
29 May
Summary
- Texas Tech coach proposed playing Texas in Week 1.
- McGuire offered Lubbock as a venue for the game.
- The challenge came after Sarkisian's comment about 'twos and threes'.
Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire has publicly challenged the Texas Longhorns to a Week 1 season-opening game, proposing it be held in Lubbock. McGuire stated his willingness to help Texas buy out its contract with Texas State, contingent on Texas doing the same for Texas Tech's game against Abilene Christian. This bold offer comes after Texas coach Steve Sarkisian remarked that his team could go undefeated playing with backups against another in-state opponent. McGuire's proposal aims to reignite the historic rivalry between the two Texas universities, which has been dormant since Texas's move to the SEC. Texas Tech's non-conference schedule also includes games against Oregon State and Sam Houston, while Texas faces Ohio State and UTSA.
