Steve Sarkisian Says Opting Out “Never Considered” as Texas Accepts Citrus Bowl Bid

Sarkisian said Texas “did not” consider opting out after missing the CFP, calling the Citrus Bowl a “great opportunity” to face Michigan. He cited the bowl’s tradition and the need for players to enjoy an experience they “didn’t get” last year while rushing through playoff prep. Sarkisian wants the Longhorns to embrace the moment in Orlando, even without the playoff stage.
