Steve Sarkisian to Quinn Ewers: 'Got to park where he's supposed to park'

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian defended the UT parking enforcement on Monday after his star quarterback’s car got towed on Saturday.

After the Longhorns’ win over ULM this weekend, Quinn Ewers tweeted: “How’d I get towed during the game (laughing face emoji).” Well, Sarkisian knows exactly how it happened.

“He’s got to park where he’s supposed to park,” Sarkisian said with a laugh, via Joe Cook. “He wasn’t where he was supposed to be parking on gameday.”

To make room for gameday parking or other events on campus, many universities demand that students move their cars to alternate lots by at least midnight. Presumably, Ewers missed the memo as he was busy preparing for his first game as the team’s starter. Hopefully, he’ll remember to move his car ahead of this Saturday’s matchup versus No. 1 Alabama.

Ewers passed for 225 yards and two touchdowns with one interception and a sack in the 52-10 victory.

Keilan Robinson rails against UT parking tickets

The former Ohio State Buckeye was not the only one complaining about Texas’ parking rules this weekend.

Running back Keilan Robinson tweeted Sunday about the parking tickets on campus.

“UT HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE DAMN PARKING TICKETS,” Robinson tweeted.

Parking violations at UT Austin can run students anywhere from $20 for running overtime on a paid meter to $75 for parking in the wrong area.

Along with Ewers’ and Robinson’s parking woes, Longhorns receiver Agiye Hall ended up in custody after tampering with a UT parking boot on his vehicle ahead of the season. He is now back with the team.

After the game on Saturday, Steve Sarkisian said the team has a lot of work to do still.

“From a critical standpoint, we’ve got a lot to work on still. This was not a perfect game,” Sarkisian said. “We had an opportunity in the red area and kind of stubbed our toe with a sack and penalties and things, where we had to settle for a field goal. Didn’t generate the vertical passing game the way we would’ve liked. Took some shots, and that didn’t play out the way we would’ve liked it to. So that was a little bit frustrating, but that’s part of it. We’re going to keep taking those shots when they present themselves, and we’ll hit them.
