Summary
Less than two weeks after apologizing, Arch Manning did a cordial on-field ESPN interview with Holly Rowe following No. 1 Texas’ 20-17 win at No. 14 Tennessee.
The exchange drew attention because Manning had called an AI-generated clip of Steve Sarkisian appearing to slap Rowe “hilarious” after Texas’ Sept. 12 win over Ohio State, then apologized the next day.
Rowe had already accepted that apology publicly and said the two spoke privately; Saturday’s interview ended with her thanking Manning and him replying, “Appreciate it.”
On the field, Manning went 14 of 19 for 201 yards and an interception as Texas survived despite 11 penalties for 115 yards, while its defense piled up 10 sacks.
Social media reactions were mixed, with some viewing the interview as a sign both had moved on and others arguing the controversy had altered Manning’s public demeanor.
