Arch Manning Apologizes for AI Video Joke; Ohio State Coach Regrets Late-Game Decision

Texas quarterback Arch Manning has issued an apology after making a joke about an AI-generated video depicting his coach, Steve Sarkisian, slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. The incident occurred following Texas's upset victory over Ohio State. Manning, who initially found the clip humorous, later stated there was "nothing funny about it" and that he "needs to do better." Holly Rowe has accepted his apology.

In a separate development, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day expressed regret over his decision not to allow Texas to score late in the fourth quarter of their recent game. Day chose to "hold the line" and attempt a defensive stop from the one-yard line, a strategy that ultimately failed and allowed Texas to bleed valuable clock time. This decision has drawn scrutiny as the Buckeyes suffered a narrow loss.
