QB Laughs at AI Video of Coach Hitting Reporter
15 Sep
Summary
- Texas QB Arch Manning found a fake video funny.
- The video depicted coach Steve Sarkisian hitting reporter Holly Rowe.
- The incident occurred after Texas's comeback win against Ohio State.

Texas quarterback Arch Manning recently commented on an AI-generated video that humorously depicted his coach, Steve Sarkisian, striking longtime ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe. Manning found the fabricated clip amusing.
This commentary followed a real post-game interaction where Sarkisian appeared to dismiss Rowe during a live interview, exclaiming "That's called Texas fight!" before walking away. ESPN's Laura Rutledge also experienced a derailed interview with Sarkisian at halftime due to technical issues.
Manning, who led the Longhorns to a remarkable 24-23 comeback win against the then-No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes, has faced criticism for his remarks. His performance in the game included 23 completions for 195 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
