Audio Issues at Trump's Texas-Tennessee Game

Sideline reporter Laura Rutledge addressed potential communication issues before kickoff, noting teams worked with Secret Service to clear radio frequencies. Coach-to-coach communication was expected to be 'perfectly OK,' though coach-to-player communication required backup signaling plans. playerbros.org

Head coach Steve Sarkisian had previously explained that Trump's presence can cause headset communications to be cut without warning when he enters, leaves, or moves locations within the stadium. Texas led 10-3 midway through the second quarter, with running back Raleek Brown scoring on a 9-yard run.
