"Texas is the new Ohio State": Josh Pate makes an optimistic observation on Steve Sarkisian's recruiting

Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns have put together another strong recruiting class. However, they have drawn criticism because they have not been able to get over the hump to win a National Championship.

On Thursday's "Josh Pate's College Football Show," Pate talked about this and how people are treating Texas the same way they used to treat Georgia and Ohio State (starts at 40:50).

"I had some takeaways, not from yesterday, but from this entire recruiting cycle now. Texas just keeps on stacking. Texas is the new Ohio State. Ohio State was the new Georgia. So, what I mean by that if you watched the show for a while you know what I mean. For a while, Kirby and Georgia were the team that recruited at a high level and won a whole lot of games there.

"But they couldn't win the big one. It was dumb. So then they won a couple of titles and then everyone shifted their attention to Ryan Day. Oh Ryan Day. He's a good recruiter and they won all their other games but they can't win the big one. Ok well they just one the big one."

Josh Pate then went on to discuss how the new powerhouse getting criticized for not winning is Texas.

"Well now guess where their attention is going. It's going to Austin, Texas, and it's going to Steve Sarkisian, and it's going to where whether or not he's going to win the big one. Look at Sark, yeah he can stack all these recruiting classes, yeah they've got all this talent, yeah they've got all these deep pockets in NIL, but they can't win the big one.

"Yeah they can, they just haven't. The best way to go about that is not to pay attention to what people are saying on the outside."
