BYU coach scolds students for wearing 'Horns Down' T-shirts during clash with Texas

There is no easier way to touch a nerve in college sports than to say "Horns Down" in any way, shape or form to Texas. Some programs still try to accommodate that sensitivity.

On Saturday, that program was BYU.

With the Cougars facing Texas in a Big 12 clash, a group of nine BYU students reported for duty wearing T-shirts that spelled out "HORNS DOWN" in the front row of the ROC (Roar of Cougars) student section. Their seats were the closest ones to the Texas bench.

The shirts were gone by the first media timeout, at the request of BYU.
