Head coach Steve Sarkisian expressed excitement over Texas' move to the SEC, as the Longhorns 'gained two rivals back' in Arkansas and Texas A&M.
Longhorns fans get their first look at Arch Manning, who starred with 355 yards and three touchdowns in Texas' Orange-White spring game. until November, but the excitement surrounding the return of the storied rivalries was already creating chatter this week at the SEC spring meetings, where Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian made his first appearance as an incoming member of the league.
To end the season, Texas and Texas A&M will renew its heated rivalry in College Station on Nov. 30. The two haven't played since 2011, after playing each year from 1915-2011, which was tied for the eighth-longest uninterrupted series at the time. In that 2011 matchup, Justin Tucker kicked a 40-yard field goal to give Texas the 27-25 win in College Station.
"Our rival has been Texas when we didn't play Texas," Pittman said."You can feel it in the state. We did have an opportunity to play Texas two or three seasons ago, and it was a big, big deal for the state of Arkansas. For us at least it's a great addition to bring an old rivalry back." "For our old-timer people in Austin, Arkansas is a helluva game," he said."Darrell Royal and Frank Broyles retired on the same day in DKR . In the 60s, President Nixon showing up. These are just historic games that are going to be awesome."
