Texas and Oklahoma fans debate the "horns down" controversy

By  | 

SHERMAN, Tex. (KXII)- While most fans are talking about the possibility of the Sooners making the college football playoff, or the Longhorns pulling the upset for the second time this season, there has been talk about whether or not the horns down move should be a penalty.

So we let fans on both sides of the Red River debate this controversy.

Texas fan Vicki Stover says it was about time players on other teams get flagged for using the horns down move against the Longhorns.

"It's poor sportsmanship and they shouldn't be doing that. They should be penalized for doing something like that," said Stover.

However, the new rule doesn't effect fans, and Sooner fan Mark Williams will do the horns down move proudly.


OU fan Ronnie Rickman suggests the Sooners could find a loophole in this penalty.

"I definitely think it would be pretty funny if OU did an audible at the line or something, called it 'horns down' and did the hand gesture. I don't think they could really get in trouble much for that. It's not much of a celebration of any type," said Rickman.
