Horns Down won't necessarily draw flag Saturday, Big 12 source says
While Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said he was told the “Horns Down” hand gesture would draw a flag Saturday during the Big 12 Championship Game, a Big 12 source said that isn’t strictly the case.
The source indicated that the gesture could be flashed as long as it wasn’t used directly as a taunt toward Texas.
Riley asked for clarification from the league after West Virginia twice was flagged for flashing the sign during the Mountaineers' win over the Longhorns on Nov. 3.
Tuesday, during his weekly radio show, Riley said he'd heard back from the league ahead of Saturday's Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (11 a.m., ABC).
"Yeah, we can't do it," Riley said.
