No. 20 Texas to take on No. 12 Washington in the Valero Alamo Bowl
No. 20 Texas is set to take on No. 12 Washington in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29.
This top-25 matchup between Big 12 and Pac-12 teams should have no shortage of fireworks and star power. Texas running back Bijan Robinson, should he decide to play, and Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. are two of the most exciting players in the nation.
Washington enters with a 10-2 record on the season, winners of six straight games. The Huskies boast a dynamic offense that is scoring over 40 points per game. Penix Jr. currently holds the most passing yards in the country.
Texas heads to San Antonio with an 8-4 record. The Longhorns reached bowl eligibility after a 5-7 season in 2021.
This game features some familiarity between the two programs. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski are former Washington coaches. Sarkisian spent 2009-2013 as the Huskies’ head coach while Kwiatkowski served as an assistant at Washington from 2014-2020.
