Kirk Herbstreit Apologizes for Calling Out Injured Baylor Player

Kirk Herbstreit was among the many who called out Baylor’s Terrell Burt for supposedly faking injury on Saturday in order to stop the clock against Oklahoma. Upon gleaning new information, he manned up.

Herbstreit apologized to Baylor and Burt via Twitter on Sunday for misdiagnosing the situation, realizing Burt was injured, and that his teammate was just helping him get attention from the sideline so he could leave the game.
