Texas' No. 1-ranked team secured a 20-17 victory over No. 14 Tennessee in Knoxville. The game saw standout performance from defensive end Colin Simmons, who recorded five sacks. Simmons tied a program record with his efforts.
Simmons faced backlash for a celebration after a sack, where he pretended to urinate on the field. The act led to a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Officials flagged the move as crude and inappropriate.
Despite the controversy, Texas held off Tennessee in a tightly contested game. President Donald Trump attended the match, marking the Longhorns' first visit to Neyland Stadium.
Simmons later apologized for the celebration, calling it a "charge it to the game" moment. The incident sparked discussions about sportsmanship and player conduct in college football.
