Twister of a game for Sark and Texas. No. 1 Longhorns hang on despite the warts and now own the two best wins in the country through the first month of the season.

For the first time all day, Texas finds some rhythm in the running game and drives 60 yards in eight plays for the TD to take a 20-10 lead with 5:41 left.

Colin Simmons has set up camp in Tennessee's backfield today. Just collected his fifth sack, tying a school record.

Texas now up to 10 penalties for 100 yards. Sloppy football.

Tennessee can't run it. But neither can Texas. Vols have been salty up front on defense and also getting pressure on Manning. Longhorns with just 21 rushing yards with 4:21 to play 9 in the third quarter.

Colin Simmons taking over the game on that possession with his fourth sack of the game. Of course, would have been five if not for his "simulating using the restroom."

Walking up and down the sideline trying to get loose and just now sat down.
Texas WR Cam Coleman is being checked out on the sidelines after pulling in that catch. on3.com/college/football/sco…

A Cam Coleman sighting. Manning stood in there too and made a really nice throw.

Tennessee has yet to score an offensive TD, and suddenly this game is tied at 10-10 early in the third quarter. Qua Moss takes a punt 57 yards to the house, and Neyland Stadium is once again alive.

Ugly first half with lots of penalties, neither team being able to run the ball, Faizon Brandon avoiding what initially looked to be a bad injury and Colin Simmons paying homage to the infamous troughs in the old Neyland Stadium bathrooms. Texas 10, Tennessee 3.

There are dumb penalties and then there’s what Simmons just did with the “restroom” unsportsmanlike penalty. Beyond dumb.

Especially with Moe out at guard, Tennessee simply hasn’t been able to block Texas to this point. Interior has been a mismatch.

Brandon is down for Tennessee and trainers looking at his right shoulder area. Hurt on a designed QB run. Taken to medical tent.
