Sarkisian explained his actions in his postgame interview, citing what happened earlier that day at the Ohio State–Michigan game as his main reasoning. That rivalry game"Rivalries are great, but there’s a way to win it with class, and I just didn’t think that’s the right thing to do. We shouldn’t be on their logo. We shouldn’t be planting any flags on their logo,” Sarkisian said. “And I’d like to, whenever that day comes, get the same respect in return.
"I just think there’s a way we try to teach our players how to go about our business. We celebrate with one another. It’s not about any other team. It’s about what we do. And I think there’s a way to win with class and I’m hopeful that we can continue to learn how to do that.”after they left the field.
