• Texas star called clip of coach slapping reporter ‘hilarious’

• Manning: ‘Nothing funny about it … I need to do better’

• Rowe posts that she accepts apology, will move forward

Texas’s star quarterback, Arch Manning, has apologized after joking about an AI-generated video that depicted Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN college football reporter Holly Rowe after last Saturday’s game.

Manning had been asked at a press conference on Monday about the social media reaction to the Longhorns’ 24-23 upset win over No 1 Ohio State. Rowe had attempted to ask Sarkisian a question for the standard postgame interview, but the coach interrupted her and yelled a pair of Texas slogans before walking off.

Arch Manning delivered a moment, and it was a big one for Texas and himself. The Longhorns quarterback led No 4 Texas back from a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat No 1 Ohio State 24-23 on Saturday night.

Using his legs to keep drives going and his right arm to start the rally with a touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo, Manning delivered the kind of primetime performance that could redefine his career and propel the program’s national championship hopes.
