Trump's Visit Causes Audio Issues at Texas-Tennessee Game

President Trump's presence at Saturday's Texas vs. Tennessee game triggered communication issues, as both teams had worked with Secret Service to clear radio frequencies. Sideline reporter Laura Rutledge noted that coach-to-coach communication should be "perfectly OK" but expressed concern about coach-to-player communications, with teams developing alternative signaling methods.

During the broadcast, static occurred when Rutledge passed to the booth. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian had previously warned that headset communications are cut whenever Trump enters, leaves, or moves within a stadium, requiring teams to have backup plans. At the time of the issues, Texas led Tennessee 10-3 with running back Raleek Brown scoring a touchdown early in the first quarter. capturengo.com
