Texas' Reaction to BYU Fans' Taunt Sparks Discussion and Criticism

Texas has been sensitive to the 'Horns Down' taunt, with head coach Rodney Terry previously calling UCF players 'classless' for using the gesture after a win over Texas.
BYU coach Mark Pope expressed disappointment in the fans' actions, stating that such behavior is not representative of their community.
Texas' reaction to the 'Horns Down' taunt has been criticized, with commentators suggesting it makes the team look 'soft' and encourages further taunting.
