Steve Sarkisian ripped on social media for postgame comment after Alabama beat Texas

Steve Sarkisian apparently feels Texas would have knocked off No. 1 Alabama if not for the game clock hitting 0:00.

In his postgame press conference, Sarkisian shared with reporters that after the narrow 20-19 loss, he told the Longhorns that he didn’t feel like they lost to the Crimson Tide, but ran out of time. Will Reichard made a 33-yard field goal to put Alabama up 20-19 with 15 seconds left in the game. The Longhorns were unable to pull off a last-second miracle on a final offensive play.

As one would expect, Sarkisian’s message of the game not being a loss isn’t going over too well on social media. Here’s a small sample of how the CFB Twitter community is reacting:

It was a very impressive showing for the Longhorns, especially with the early loss of starting QB Quinn Ewers, but it goes down as a loss as far as everyone else is concerned. The Longhorns are 1-1 heading into Week 3.
