Texas football news: Colin Simmons issues apology for grotesque sack celly after historic performance vs. Tennessee

Texas standout defender Colin Simmons delivered a dominant display against Tennessee, registering five sacks to tie a program record and secure an SEC milestone. However, his historic outing included an unsportsmanlike conduct infraction after an inappropriate celebration in the second quarter, which handed the opponent an automatic first down.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian criticized the penalty as a poor football decision, leading to Simmons briefly exiting the contest before returning to add two more sacks in the third quarter. The top-ranked Longhorns ultimately held on for a 20-17 victory to preserve their undefeated record, moving to 4-0 ahead of their upcoming matchup against Oklahoma.
