Texas football has returned to Atlanta, Georgia on a different task with the same ultimate goal: winning the College Football Playoff national championship.
The Longhorns’ plane arrived Sunday, giving the team time to prepare for the Peach Bowl against Arizona State. This is their second consecutive year playing in a New Year Six bowl game, having played the Sugar Bowl last year. With the 12-team playoff, however, they’re handling things a little bit differently this year.
“If it is just your traditional New Year’s Day bowl game, and you’re at the bowl site for about a week or so … This being a playoff, we’re only here for about three days with the goal to be back here January 20th,” Sarkisian said on Monday.
The CFP finals will be held in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium as well, while the semifinals will be at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. First, Texas will have to take care of business against Arizona State.
“It’s an honor to be here. The Peach Bowl does a fantastic job. We’re just embracing it and enjoying the journey, quite frankly,” Sarkisian said.
