Stop if you’ve heard this before: Steve Sarkisian blew a double-digit lead in the second half. The final 10 Texas possessions were punt, punt, punt, punt, field goal, punt, punt, missed FG, interception and interception. The Longhorns are 5-3.

He was a two-star wide receiver at Faith Lutheran High School in Las Vegas. He played only one year of high school football and then played at the University of San Diego in 2018 and 2019.
