Colin Simmons ties program-record with 5 sacks as No. 1 Texas beats No. 14 Tennessee
Knoxville, Tenn. (AP) — In Texas' inaugural visit to Neyland Stadium, top-ranked Texas secured a 20-17 victory over No. 14 Tennessee with linebacker Colin Simmons tying the program record by recording five sacks. The defensive lineup for the Longhorns dominated the game, with Simmons tying an impressive record and celebrating his achievement with a vulgar demonstration after one sack, which led to a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Tennessee quarterback Brandon Faizon connected for a 30-yard touchdown pass to Mike Matthews with just 1:22 remaining in the game. Despite the loss, Tennessee's defense, led by Simmons, showcased a formidable effort.
