Steve Sarkisian’s No. 4 Texas beat top-ranked Ohio State 24-23 in a stunning manner on Saturday to improve to a 2-0 record. After the game, Longhorns coach Sarkisian abruptly left an interview with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe to celebrate with his team.
When analyst Jason Whitlock caught wind of Sarkisian bolting during Rowe’s interview, he offered his take on the situation.
Thanks for the submission!
“I’m not going to defend Sark… BUT…. Holly Rowe is not some sweet innocent little auntie. She calls herself a ‘siren’ for a reason. She’s not nice. She plays the nice role because that’s the only role available,” Whitlock tweeted.
