Holly Rowe has been managing the sidelines for a long time as a reporter at ESPN. She is a true professional who is going to do whatever is needed to do her job, and nothing is going to stop her from that.
On Saturday night, she proved just that as she was knocked over by players on the sideline during the Miami vs. Florida State game.
Without missing a beat, she stood right back up and delivered an update on her status.
“I have an injury update on myself. I’m good,” Rowe said before giving a report about the Miami-FSU game.
Being on the sidelines during a college football game can always be a dangerous thing, but Saturday has been extremely dangerous. ESPN sideline reporter Tori Petry was run over earlier in the day after K-State quarterback Avery Johnson was knocked into her on a late hit out of bounds. Like Rowe, Petry also appeared to be OK following the collision.
Saturday has shown that being a sideline reporter isn’t for the faint of heart, and Rowe and Petry showed the determination to get right back up and do their job.
