  "account": "On Monday, Texas and Tennessee agreed to correct defensive end Colin Simmons' stats from their September 26th game in Knoxville. Simmons was credited with an additional 1/2 sack, bringing his total against Tennessee to 5 ½. This now makes Simmons the sole holder of the Longhorns' sacks record, breaking the tie he shared with Shane Dronett's 1990 performance at Texas Tech. The sack in question occurred in the fourth quarter when Simmons made the initial contact with Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon and completed the takedown while Hero Kanu finished the job. Simmons' performance in the game included nine tackles, the school-record 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and an additional quarterback hurry.",
  "summary": "Texas and Tennessee have agreed to correct Colin Simmons' stats from this past Saturday's game. Simmons is now credited with 5.5 sacks against the Volunteers. That is a standalone record at Texas.",
