Steve Sarkisian addresses Texas Longhorns discipline and Top-25 success

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian addressed team discipline following a 20-17 victory over the No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers. During the game, junior edge Colin Simmons received a personal foul penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct during a celebration. Sarkisian noted that the behavior was “unacceptable” and stated that the team would undergo an internal “Good, Bad, and Ugly” session to re-emphasize discipline, though he declined to specify the exact consequences for Simmons or running back Raleek Brown.

Despite the disciplinary concerns, the win continues a significant period of success for the program. Under Sarkisian, the Longhorns have secured 16 Top-25 victories since 2023, a figure that leads the FBS. This recent win follows a notable victory over No. 1 Ohio State earlier in the season, cementing Texas as a consistent contender in the national rankings.
