Colin Simmons Gets Penalty for 'Simulating Using Restroom' vs Tennessee Football
Officials flagged Colin Simmons for unsportsmanlike conduct after the sack, and the 15-yard penalty extended Tennessee’s drive.
- On Saturday, Texas defensive end Colin Simmons received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for "simulating using the restroom" after sacking Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon in KNOXVILLE, extending the Volunteers' drive.
- Simmons, a star Longhorns defender and potential first-round pick, recorded two sacks and five stops during the first half; the taunting penalty bailed out the Volunteers after the drive appeared to be ending.
- Calling it an "absolute idiotic move by Colin Simmons," ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit criticized the celebration as the referee announced the 15-yard penalty, which gave Tennessee a significant field position advantage.
- Texas' defense ultimately held firm on the drive, preventing points despite the field position shift as the Longhorns maintained their 10-3 lead into halftime before Tennessee tied the score later.
- This incident mirrors the 2019 Egg Bowl, where Mississippi's Elijah Moore received a penalty for a similar celebration; that flag proved significant as Ole Miss lost and coach Matt Luke was subsequently fired.
