The Texas Longhorns' coach had plenty to say about the Wolverines football team.
It's the game Michigan fans have been craving for since last season ended. The Wolverines will host Texas on Saturday in what some think might be the game of the year. Texas is coming off of a huge win over Colorado State in which it won 52-0 while its offense was electric. Michigan, on the other hand, struggled offensively but still won 30-10 over a good Fresno State team.
"Three straight College Football Playoffs, national champs, 41-3 in their last 44 games, have won 16 games in a row," Sarkisian said. "They’ve won 23 straight at home. So we’re gonna be in for a dogfight."Moving forward to Michigan, a ton of respect for this program, for this team. You don’t go to three straight College Football Playoffs if you don’t have a great program, and they’ve got a great program — obviously, capping it off last year being national champs.
Yeah, I mean, clearly we’ve got to do great stopping the run, and we need to be better at stopping the run than we were a week ago. But we surely don’t want to do that at the expense of giving up explosive plays in the pass game. And I think that’s that fine line that we have to walk going into Saturday,I think a couple guys that stood out for me. I think Alfred and Vernon played well, like they do, you know? And that was a good sign.
