Texas fans are not happy with head coach Steve Sarkisian. On Friday night, the Texas Longhorns were locked in a tense game against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the semi-finals of the college football playoffs.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns were on the one-yard line and on the verge of tying the game, but they lost yards when Sarkisian ran a sweep play that was stopped behind the line of scrimmage.

A few plays later, Ewers fumbled the ball in the backfield, leading to a game-ending touchdown for the Longhorns.

After the game, fans ripped into Sarkisian for botching the playcalling near the goal line.
“This loss falls heavy on the shoulders of Steve Sarkisian. Second and goal at the one, a veteran offensive line, running the ball much better in the 2nd half, and you decide to try and toss on the perimeter against one of the best defenses in the country. Just inexcusable” said one angry Longhorns fan.
“Offensive genius Steve Sarkisian can’t score from the 1yd line. Unbelievable” commented another fan.
