“I told you they were gonna break and they did.”
The words of Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Joey McGuire following Saturday’s 37-34 overtime win over the Texas Longhorns likely aren’t easily digestible to the burnt orange faithful, but until proven otherwise, they ring true.
With their latest loss, the Longhorns have fallen to 7-9 under Steve Sarkisian, and in more than half of those — five, to be exact — you could certainly say Texas broke.
Of the nine losses now to Sark’s name in Austin, his Longhorns have led at the half in five.
