I’d say find out when the horns up was started and look for their first loss after that.
Apparently it was first started in 1955 by a cheerleader…..then this on horns down:
It's unclear when it was first used, but The Daily Texan featured a Baylor student doing it in 1963, bringing media attention to the new phenomenon.

"Hook 'em Horns was invented on Nov. 11th, 1955.
The next day Texas played TCU in Austin and Horn students started doing the "Hook 'em.
So my guess is that it was a visiting TCU fan on that Nov. 12th day. (TCU won).
The next week...Texas played A&M. I'm sure some enterprising Aggie figured out how to turn the Hook 'em Horns" downward.
