Texas defender penalized for vulgar sack celebration

During a high-intensity SEC matchup in Knoxville, Texas defender Colin Simmons delivered a stellar performance by matching a school record with five total sacks against Tennessee. However, his aggressive play was overshadowed during the third down when a controversial celebration following a takedown of quarterback Faizon Brandon drew a flag from the officials.

Head coach Steve Sarkasian likely found little amusement in the incident, which broadcast analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler swiftly condemned on air as both foolish and vulgar. Despite his dominant output in the backfield, only a single sack from that historic outing will remain untainted by the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
