ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum defended Texas quarterback Arch Manning, saying reporters put him in a bad position by asking about an AI video depicting coach Steve Sarkisian striking Holly Rowe. Manning laughed, said he had seen it and later apologized to Rowe.
The controversy followed Texas’ win over Ohio State, when Sarkisian brushed off ESPN’s Holly Rowe in an emotional postgame moment that drew criticism. Manning later appeared to take a more cautious approach during subsequent media sessions.
