The Sugar Bowl on Monday, Jan. 1, pits No. 3 Texas against No. 2 Washington in the second of two College Football Playoff semifinal games to be played. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

Washington coach Kalen DeBoer and Texas’ Steve Sarkisian are newcomers to this stage, with career paths that could not be more different: DeBoer methodically climbing from the lowest levels of college football; Sarkisian, the prodigy whose meteoric rise was waylaid by personal demons.

Three seasons ago, Washington and Texas combined to win nine games. Last year, they faced each other in the Alamo Bowl. On New Year’s Day, the second-ranked, Pac-12 champion Huskies (13-0) and third-ranked, Big 12 champion Longhorns (12-1) will play for spot in the national championship game.

The Huskies were coming off a winless season. Sarkisian went 34-29 over five years, before going back to USC as head coach.

In 2015, barely a season and a half into his USC tenure, Sarkisian was fired for cause because of a drinking problem and ended up in rehab. He wondered if he had thrown away a promising career.

Texas and Washington play at 7:45 p.m. (8:45 p.m. ET) on Monday, Jan. 1.
