Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian didn’t mince words ahead of the program’s game against Arkansas this weekend. In fact, Sarkisian absolutely grasps the challenge still ahead.
“I think it’s a very scary game, because this is a very dangerous Arkansas team, and we addressed that with the team this morning,” Sarkisian said early this week, according to Sports Illustrated.
Arkansas is coming off a narrow loss to, like it, a hobbled LSU program.
