DALLAS -- Any player from the Texas Longhorns or Oklahoma Sooners who draws an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during Saturday's game will be automatically ejected.
Big 12 referee Mike Defee made the announcement after the teams had to be separated at midfield following warm-ups at the Cotton Bowl. Defee assessed unsportsmanlike conduct penalties to every player on both teams, even though several weren't involved in the incident.
NCAA rules state two unsportsmanlike conduct fouls in the same game result in an ejection.
Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said this week that his players would not be displaying the "Horns Down" signal during the Texas game.
