Steve Sarkisian’s Texas Longhorns are playing the Michigan Wolverines for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. With this game, Texas’ season will come to an end. It’s a big day for Sarkisian and Co., and they have all the support they need for the Bowl game.
Sarkisian’s wife, Loreal, has shown her support for the Longhorns throughout the season. Be it her stylish game day outfits or social media posts, Loreal has cheered for her husband every way she could.
With the season coming to an end, she showed up at the stadium wearing a burnt orange outfit and posted a video of herself on her Instagram story.
With less than eight minutes to go in the second quarter, the two teams are tied 17-17. This was expected to be the Longhorns’ season in the beginning because they had one of the strongest rosters, but things haven’t gone their way.
It was also Arch Manning’s first season as a starting quarterback, which only brought more attention toward the program. Manning tried his best, accumulating over 2900 yards and 24 touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough.
With this game, he’d bring his first season as starting QB to an end, and Manning would have plenty to reflect on. If the Longhorns win today, Manning would go out with a 12-3 record.
There have been some speculations about his future in Texas. There were rumors claiming that Manning would declare for the NFL Draft, but those turned out to be false. The quarterback will be back with Steve Sarkisian’s team in 2026 to make another run in college football.
While the Longhorns failed to perform as per the expectations, the Michigan Wolverines have dealt with their own set of problems.
Michigan Recently Signed Kyle Whittingham
The last few months have been tough for the Michigan Wolverines. Their former head coach, Sherrone Moore, made headlines with his off-field actions. He was fired for cause by the program for having an affair with a Michigan staff member.
Moore also got into legal trouble in the aftermath of that and was arrested. The Wolverines went through a rough stretch without a head coach until a week ago, when they decided to hire Kyle Whittingham.
The former Utah Utes coach was brought in to stabilize the program and build a new culture within the program. Whittingham is revered for his two-decade run with the Utes, and he is free from controversies, which makes him the perfect fit for Michigan right now.
