Colin Simmons, the junior EDGE for Texas, just snagged a massive 16-yard sack on Tennessee freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon late in the first half Saturday, but then he pulled a move that earned him an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The flag from referee Kyle Olson was for “simulating using the restroom,” and yeah, it was exactly what it sounds like.
The Sack That Turned Sour
Texas was already up 10-3, and their D-line had been bringing the heat all day. On a crucial third-and-13, the Longhorns’ pressure finally got to Brandon. Simmons, who absolutely racked up 12 sacks back in the 2025 campaign, finished the job, bringing Brandon down for a huge loss of 16 yards. That put Tennessee in an impossible spot, back on their own 12-yard line, staring down a daunting fourth-and-29. Talk about a momentum shifter, right?
Vulgar Behavior Costs Big
But instead of celebrating that massive play, Simmons decided to get vulgar. He literally pretended to unzip his pants and spray Shields,Watkins Field in Neyland Stadium with urine. Can you believe that? That kind of behavior, simulating using the restroom on the field, wiped out all that hard-earned yardage. He basically pissed away a 16-yard sack, giving Tennessee a huge break after Texas had them dead to rights. It’s a costly, boneheaded move for a player who was a 12-sack monster just last season. What a way to shoot yourself in the foot!
This kind of unsportsmanlike act is never a good look, especially when your team is already leading and has the opponent pinned deep. You gotta wonder what was going through his head out there.
