Sports journalist Anne-Parker Coleman reported on a story from the Texas head coach’s most recent media appearance, where Steve stated, “I walked them through the Notre Dame scenario, of them going into college station a week ago and winning that game and being anointed top-five team and in the college football playoff, and a week later, losing to Northern Illinois.” Therefore, the coach makes his team ready for any kind of circumstances.

I want to make it 60 minutes of hell for our opponents.” So, you can understand how strong the team spirit and coaching guidance are. Now, let’s wait and watch who calls the shot on Saturday.
