Summary
Chris Del Conte said Texas did not use Bevo Lab to decide a fourth-and-2 call against Florida, reversing a reading of a report that suggested the system was consulted in-game.
The confusion followed Friday's launch of Bevo Lab, a 25,000-square-foot AI facility built with Google to support athletic decision-making such as roster building, revenue-sharing and daily staff operations.
An Austin-American Statesman report said Texas turned to the platform while trailing 20-17 in the fourth quarter, but Del Conte later said he had cited that moment only as an example of what AI could suggest.
The clarification lands as Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning face mounting scrutiny after back-to-back losses to unranked teams, with Texas set to play Ole Miss on Saturday night.
