After facing three losses, Steve Sarkisian’s Texas Longhorns were nearly kicked out of the postseason appearance. Although the program is out of the college football playoffs, QB Arch Manning has still got one Big Ten rival to lace up against. The Longhorns are projected to go against the Michigan Wolverines in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, according to The Big Ten Huddle’s Jon Rhoades. The last time Michigan and Texas faced off (in a bowl game) was in the 2005 Rose Bowl. Celebrated QB Vince Young beat the Wolverines in a close 38-37 fashion, earning the MVP honor. 

Following a three-loss season, Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns' postseason appearance was confirmed on Saturday.

Insiya Johar is a College Football Writer at EssentiallySports. With a background in media and journalism—including a formative nine-month internship in sports reporting—she brings a sharp eye to the ever-evolving world of college football. As a key member of the ES CFB Recruiting Desk, she closely follows the journeys of top prospects like Arch Manning and compelling dual-sport athletes such as Jackson Cantwell. Yet what truly captivates her are the stories of under-the-radar players—the zero- or two-star recruits who defy expectations to become NFL stars. Her favorite example? Patrick Mahomes, the former three-star recruit whose rise from Texas Tech to league MVP perfectly reflects the kind of narrative she loves to tell.
