NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Wearing matching smiles and dark blue suits, Washington coach Kalen DeBoer and Texas’ Steve Sarkisian shook hands and posed for a photo with the Sugar Bowl trophy their teams will play for Monday night.They 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.For both, there were times when leading a team to the College Football Playoff hardly seemed like a realistic goal.“We don’t have to stay where we are in life,” Sarkisian said Sunday.That goes not just for the coaches but their programs. 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....
