Texas coach Steve Sarkisian says he should have better handled his postgame interview with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe after the win over Ohio State and acknowledged how the testy exchange led to the creation of fake videos and an apology from star quarterback Arch Manning.

"Obviously we have a ton of respect for ESPN and for Holly," Sarkisian said Thursday.

"We could have handled that situation better with a little bit more patience in the moment. But that obviously led to the situation with Arch." Sarkisian said he should have been more patient and spoken with Rowe.
