Texas edge Colin Simmons pissed away a 16-yard sack late in the first half Saturday at Tennessee.

As it had most of the day, Longhorns pressure enveloped Volunteers freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon late in the second quarter on a third-and-13. Simmons, a junior who authored a 12-sack season in 2025, finished the job.

He brought down Brandon for a loss of 16 yards that dropped Tennessee to its own 12-yard line and to a daunting fourth-and-29, with Texas already leading 10-3.

But then Simmons pretended to unzip his pants and spay Shields–Watkins Field in Neyland Stadium with urine.

That vulgar behavior resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty Simmons received “for simulating using the restroom,” according to referee Kyle Olson.
