COMMENTARY: Man, Faizon Brandon has to be one sore puppy after that

Texas secured a 20-17 victory against Tennessee after an intense defensive battle. Volunteers quarterback Faizon Brandon absorbed ten sacks during the matchup, while Texas signal-caller Arch Manning was brought down six times and restricted to 201 total yards.

Edge rusher Colin Simmons matched a school record with five sacks for the Longhorns, though he also drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for simulating using the restroom. Tennessee coach Josh Heupel pointed to both his quarterback and offensive line for the struggles, while defensive coordinator Jim Knowles received praise for his unit's intensity.

Both squads struggled with discipline, combining for eighteen penalties.
