Texas officials issued an apology to Georgia and SEC referees after fans threw trash on the field during the Longhorns' 30-15 loss to the Bulldogs on Saturday.
Texas Board of Regents chairman Kevin Eltife, university president Jay Hartzell and athletic director Chris Del Conte released a joint statement addressing the incident on Sunday, via ESPN's Dave Wilson.
"While we deeply appreciate the passion and loyalty of our fan base at The University of Texas at Austin, we do not condone the unsportsmanlike conduct that was exhibited by some individuals throwing objects onto the field during last night's game and sincerely apologize to the University of Georgia players, coaches, and fans, as well as the Southeastern Conference and officiating crew," the statement said.
