After No. 1 Alabama narrowly escaped unranked Texas in Austin on Saturday afternoon, several Crimson Tide players were seen flashing the “Horns Down” gesture that has proved to be a controversial taunt for Texas’ opponents in the Big 12.
Alabama coach Nick Saban was visibly upset with his players when he saw them taunting Texas as time expired. Saban was seen yelling “Don’t do that s–t,” as he ran out to shake hands with former Alabama offensive coordinator and current Texas coach Steve Sarkisian.
Alabama entered Saturday as a three-touchdown favorite on the road, but failed to cover the spread, and nearly lost in their first true non-conference road game since 2011.
