Washington Huskies football players talked the talk after the team defeated the Texas Longhorns in the College Football Playoff national semifinals on Monday night, 37-31.
As players celebrated the Sugar Bowl win, Jaivion Green and Dyson McCutcheon were seen interacting with Longhorns fans and giving them the "horns down" symbol. Things got particularly heated with one Longhorns fan who was halfway over the fencing at that moment.

KVUE-TV reporter Cory Mose posted the interaction on X.
"Remember me motherf---er," the fan said.
Green and McCutcheon told the man that the Huskies run the south.
Washington will vie for a national championship and look to win it for the first time since 1991. Michael Penix Jr.’s 430 passing yards and two touchdown passes helped put the Huskies in that position.

"Huskie Nation stand up," he told Huskies supporters in the postgame celebration. "We goin' to the natty!"
Texas tried to get back into the end zone before time expired. Quinn Ewers threw a few great passes to get the Longhorns near the end zone. He missed on his last three passes as his fade to Adonai Mitchell was knocked away by Washington’s Elijah Jackson.
"Those guys are the most resilient guys I have ever been around," Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer said after the game
