Sarkisian Shuns Cameras After Texas Thriller
13 Sep
Summary
- Coach Sarkisian avoided post-game interviews after Texas' comeback win.
- He declined opportunities to speak with ABC during and after the game.
- Sarkisian chose to celebrate with his team instead of speaking to media.
In a surprising turn of events following No. 3 Texas football's thrilling 24-23 comeback victory against top-ranked Ohio State, head coach Steve Sarkisian opted out of post-game interviews.
Sarkisian twice declined interview opportunities with ABC's broadcast team. He initially avoided speaking with Laura Rutledge at halftime, departing the interview area amidst reported technical difficulties. Immediately following the game, he again refused an interview with Holly Rowe, stating his intention to celebrate with his team and performing the 'Hook 'em' gesture.
This decision to abstain from media engagements left reporters, including Rowe, visibly frustrated. It remains unclear if Sarkisian's avoidance was a direct result of the earlier technical issues or simply a reflection of his immersion in the monumental win. Regardless, his absence from national media coverage during such a pivotal moment was notable.
