Texas Star Colin Simmons Apologizes for Unsportsmanlike Penalty at Tennessee

Texas defensive end Colin Simmons apologized after drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for miming urinating on the field during the first half of Saturday's game at Tennessee.

The penalty was assessed after Simmons simulated "using the restroom" in a moment officials deemed unsportsmanlike conduct, a call that added yardage against Texas during the contest.

Despite the penalty, Texas went on to win the game at Tennessee, though the incident drew attention as one of the more unusual moments of the day around college football.

Simmons, regarded as one of the Longhorns' key defensive players, addressed the penalty afterward and offered an apology for the gesture, acknowledging it fell short of expected conduct on the field.

The episode is likely to be remembered as a footnote to an otherwise successful road performance for Texas, though it drew scrutiny over the judgment shown by one of the team's prominent players in a high-profile matchup.
