Coach Sark announced his presence in the Houston area and showed footage of him taking off in a helicopter with a caption reading “Big day in H-Town!”
He popped up 50-some miles Southeast in the port city of Galveston and Williams didn’t just put on a show in the Tornadoes’ 41-10 win.
He also broke the fourth wall ande acknowledged Sarkisian while doing so.
He returned a kickoff 95 yards for touchdown, then pointed at the Texas coach after intercepting a pass inside the red zone later in the first half.
Sarkisian was photographed on the sidelines by Gerry Hamilton (X: @GHamiltonOTF) with Texas defensive back Jaylon Guilbeau, who starred at Port Arthur Memorial.
Texas, the No. 2 ranked team in the country, is on a bye week ahead of its Red River Rivalry showdown with No. 12 Oklahoma on Oct. 12.
