Steve Sarkisian weighs in on kickoff time for Texas-Alabama game
Steve Sarkisian has a chance to become the third Nick Saban assistant to beat his former boss in Week 2 of the upcoming 2022 college football season.
That’s when the Texas Longhorns will host the Alabama Crimson Tide in Austin on Saturday, Sept. 10, for a Week 2 nonconference matchup.
FOX will broadcast the game, and many fans are scared it will be an 11 a.m. Central time kickoff in Austin. But, Sarkisian isn’t worried about when the game is. He said when it’s time to play, the Longhorns will be ready:
Steve Sarkisian on playing Alabama at 11 a.m.: “Spot the ball and we’ll play.”
Mentions he knows fans love night games, “but at the end of the day the world that we’re in in college football… TV is a factor.”

Texas fans want to avoid the heat of the day, but it’s likely FOX will put the game in its showcase “Big Noon Saturday” timeslot.
We’ll see what happens ahead of the Week 2 showdown in Austin.
OR Sark and Saban could “give’em the finger” and say “We’re playing at 2pm be there.”
That’s not how it works.
Good to see you make an entire article based on one Tweet you copied and added nothing to.
It’s amazing to see our society has shifted to where an innocuous social media post is newsworthy. Considering all the multitude of issues we face daily, it’s difficult to understand why social media gets the attention it does.
Tee it up and let’s play. Roll Tide !

TV is the reason College Football started playing night games in the first place.
That’s not close to truth. The south has always been big on night games because of the heat. McNeese isn’t getting on TV, but their home games have always been at night.
Sorry, it’s easy to forget about the south. For most of us in the college football world TV is what brought on the night game fad. As well as games during the week like Thursday night. TV did that.
