Texas Tech Coach Challenges Texas to Schedule Matchup

Joey McGuire, head coach of Texas Tech, has issued a challenge to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian regarding a potential football matchup in the upcoming season. This challenge follows Sarkisian's comments about strength of schedule rankings, which McGuire interpreted as a reference to Texas Tech. McGuire stated that Texas Tech is willing to arrange a game against Texas in Week 1, suggesting that they could buy out their current contract with Abilene Christian to make it happen. He emphasized that he believes Sarkisian should directly address Texas Tech if he was indeed referring to them. McGuire noted the historical rivalry between the two teams, mentioning that they have met over 70 times in the past, and expressed a desire to renew this matchup. Texas Tech is reportedly prepared to facilitate the scheduling of this game, with financial support from boosters. Meanwhile, Abilene Christian has confirmed their intention to play Texas Tech as scheduled on September 5.
