Colin Cowherd shades Longhorns amid ‘new Alabama’ chatter

Becasue of an article from The Athletic stating that the Texas football team is the “new Alabama” in college football, there has been a lot of discourse about the Longhorns in the past couple of days. While head coach Steve Sarkisian has put together a couple of good seasons in a row, a lot of people think that it’s way too soon to start comparing the team to the dynasty that Nick Saban built with the Crimson Tide.

“I love Texas football, and I didn’t go there,” Cowherd continued. “I don’t understand why I love Texas football, but it’s something you can love without living there. It’s cool. They passed the eye test. They have most of my life, but they’re not Alabama. They’re not gritty, right? Like, Texas is the prom king. He’s the coolest guy in school. He may be the best looking guy in school. He’s the prom king. Alabama was like, the best wrestler in your high school. Didn’t always look good in class, but nobody wanted to mess with him.”

USC and Texas are both teams that we expect to be in the same conversation as the Alabamas and Georgias, but in the last 20 years, they really haven’t…
