Bevo’s Daily Roundup: Even Bob Stoops thinks Texas has the players to win in 2021

It’s a cold day in hell when a former Oklahoma Sooners head coach says something nice about the Texas Longhorns. And indeed, today is that cold day in hell, dear readers.

Per 247Sports, former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops says he doesn’t think Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has a major program rebuild ahead. He thinks Sarkisian can win this year.

“I don’t know why it would be a huge rebuild,” Stoops told The Herd this week. “They’ve had the top recruiting class (from 2018-2020) in the Big 12 and it’s been top 10 nationally, so they have players, unlike when we walked in at Oklahoma. I don’t think that was the case.
