The 2010 BCS National Championship Game was the last time Alabama and Texas battled each other. Texas has a lot of confidence in year two under Steve Sarkisian, and its fans feel it. During the week, we have seen Longhorn fans chant “We Want Bama,” its marching band said “We’re gonna beat the hell out of Bama,” and players said, “it would not shock our locker room if we beat Alabama.” Now, it has been reported that Texas students chanted “f-ck Nick Saban!” during his pregame stroll.

The Longhorns believe it can return to relevancy in college football. Coach Saban has his guys locked in on the business.
