How it unfolded
- Sep 26, 2026Simmons sacked Tennessee freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon for a loss of 16 yards on third-and-13, dropping Tennessee to its own 12-yard line and to fourth-and-29 with Texas leading 10-3.
- Sep 26, 2026Simmons stood over the quarterback and mimicked unzipping his pants, simulating urinating on him, and was flagged for taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct "for simulating using the restroom," according to referee Kyle Olson.
- Sep 26, 2026The penalty gave Tennessee a first down and an extra 15 yards instead of a fourth-and-very-long and an inevitable punt; it was the sixth penalty on Texas.
