After Texas' 34-24 win over Alabama, a video surfaced on social media of a group of University of Alabama students engaging in "vile" behavior by using racist and homophobic language against Texas players who were dancing on the sideline.
The Austin American-Statesman, part of the USA TODAY Network, reached out to Alabama for comments and received the following statement from the university.
"We are disgusted by reports of vile language and inappropriate behavior Saturday night. To be clear, we condemn this behavior and it will not be tolerated in our venues. It is not representative of UA or our values. We expect all attendees to act with class and respect toward others," the statement said.
"Fans are strongly encouraged to report issues to our security on-site. Gameday and delayed reports are appropriately addressed and anyone found to be in violation of our rules and expectations will be promptly removed and may be banned from future events."

Video surfaced on Sunday of three Texas players − X’Avion Brice, Jelani McDonald and B.J. Allen Jr., all of whom are Black − celebrating the Longhorns' win. Offscreen, Crimson Tide fans in the stands of Bryant-Denny Stadium can be heard screaming obscenities at the players.
Angie Wisner, the mother of Texas freshman running back Quintrevion Wisner, who also is seen in the video, posted on social media that fans also spit and threw beer cans and water bottles at them.
"The fact my son down there and they saying go back to the projects really just saddens my heart that as his mother no matter how old he had to listen to that! Love you Son!" Wisner posted on X. "But the parents went through this all night! Beer cans thrown at us, water bottles, spit! Disgrace."
Saturday's game was Texas' first road win over a top-five team since 2005.
The Tuscaloosa News, part of the USA TODAY Network, contributed to this report.
