Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Texas quarterback Arch Manning found a fake AI-edited video of coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe after their comeback win over Ohio State to be "hilarious," despite the violent and inappropriate nature of the clip.
- The fake video followed a real awkward moment where Sarkisian ignored Rowe's questions on live TV, walking away while shouting "That's called Texas fight! Hook 'em!" after the game.
- Manning led Texas to a stunning 24-23 victory over No. 1 Ohio State, rallying from a 23-3 deficit, but his remarks laughing about the fake video have been criticized as poor judgment amid the program's high point.
- Despite the controversy, the reaction to Manning's comments appeared lighthearted in the interview setting, suggesting no immediate repercussions are expected.
