Oklahoma lost to Arizona last week in the Alamo Bowl.
That didn’t stop Texas fans from breaking out into an “OU sucks” chant at halftime of the Sugar Bowl, with Texas tied with Washington 21-21.
Sooners defensive lineman Ethan Downs was honored at halftime as part of the Allstate Good Works Team, which recognizes players for their work off the field. During the ceremony, the junior who led his team in tackles for loss flashed the “Horns Down” sign, much to the chagrin of a crowd full of UT fans.
