David Sills V gets flagged for double Horns Down gesture

AUSTIN, Texas - West Virginia wide receiver David Sills V was flagged for taunting after flashing a double Horns Down gesture at the Texas crowd following a touchdown catch against the Longhorns.

The Big 12 has no language in its rulebook addressing gestures, only prohibiting athletes from "committing verbally or physically abusive acts toward game officials or an opponent's team members, coaching staff, institutional personnel or fans."

Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda told ESPN that the decision to flag players for taunting because of gestures is up to "officials' judgement."

Texas officials have complained to the league for years that the Horns Downs gesture shouldn't be allowed.
