The Texas Longhorns were off to a dominant start as they opened the season against the Texas State Bobcats at home in Austin.

One of those fans is Loreal Sarkisian, the wife of head coach Steve Sarkisian. She stole the show as she sported a white one-piece dress and paired it with a Texas orange purse to show which team she is rooting for.

Called the “First Lady of Texas Football,” Loreal has garnered a reputation for her fashionable gameday fits and often posting them on social media. She used to be a track star in her younger days, running the 100-meter hurdles for USC and even trying out for the US Olympic team. Nowadays, Texas football players call her “Mama Sark,” and she has been known to help players on and off the field.

Loreal Sarkisian is a successful stylist over in Austin, which explains why she often garners widespread attention at Texas Longhorns games. She is also a well-known philanthropist, helping out various causes such as The Kindness Campaign, The UGLI Foundation, Runway of Dreams, and Dress for Success.

Arch Manning Had Massive Game for Steve Sarkisian’s Texas Longhorns

Much like last season, Arch Manning came in with a ton of hype. Unlike last season, however, Arch Manning actually had a very good opening game. The star quarterback had a big performance, making 30 completions for 305 yards and scoring four touchdown passes.

He connected with eight different receivers, with his touchdown passes going to Ryan Wingo, Cam Coleman, and Hollywood Smothers. It was with Coleman that he led the Longhorns to their fastest scoring drive to start a season since 2022, hitting the receiver with a touchdown pass with just 1:49 on the clock. It was also Coleman’s first touchdown in a Longhorns jersey.

Cam Coleman had a big Texas debut, scoring two touchdowns after three receptions for 70 yards. Meanwhile, Ryan Wingo was also big, getting seven receptions for 121 yards and scoring one touchdown. The Longhorns had a very good running game as well, with Raleek Brown adding two rushing touchdowns.
