Steve Sarkisian’s wife Loreal Sarkisian gears up for All State Sugar Bowl - “Put me in coach”

Steve Sarkisian’s wife, Loreal Sarkisian, took to social media to jokingly send a message to her husband. Reacting to a quote that Sarkisian kept for his players, Loreal joked that she wanted to be thrown in for the Sugar Bowl against the Washington Huskies.

The Longhorns finished the season as the third-highest-ranked team in the country, according to the CFP committee rankings. They will be facing the Washington Huskies in the playoff semi-final on New Year's Day.

The photo she shared had the Longhorns logo on it with an uplifting quote for the players as they prepare to face the undefeated Huskies in the Sugar Bowl. It said ‘All gas, no breaks’.

Washington is coming into the game after winning all 13 of its games so far, including the Pac-12 championship title against the Oregon Ducks.

Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr. has been phenomenal, narrowly missing out on this year's Heisman honor.

Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns: A year in review

Texas has been almost flawless this season, apart from a rivalry loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. They stamped their authority in the Big 12 with the conference title win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The CFP committee gave the Longhorns third place in the final ranking.

Texas QB Quinn Ewers has been the star of the year with 3,161 passing yards and 21 passing touchdowns. Only six of his 351 pass attempts were intercepted by the opposing defense.

Steve Sarkisian would hope that the star quarterback can keep his form going to help the team win a national title for the first time since 2005.
