AUSTIN, Texas — Coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday that the Texas Longhorns’ “passionate fan base” needs to use “better discretion” after the school was fined and threatened with further sanctions by the SEC.
Texas fans pelted the field with water bottles and trash in the third quarter of Saturday night’s loss to Georgia after an apparent pass interference penalty against the Longhorns. The game was briefly delayed for cleanup before the penalty was ultimately reversed.
Sarkisian went on the field at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to implore fans to stop throwing things.
“I know that we’ve got a passionate fan base, and I think that showed Saturday night,” Sarkisian said Monday. “I think we all were a little upset in that moment. I just think that we’ve all got to use a little better discretion in moments like that.
