Texas athletics director Chris Del Conte released a statement on the behavior of the fan in this video from @ATXANT10: “I want to address the video circulating on social media showing unacceptable behavior by an individual who had the privilege of field access following Saturday's game. We pride ourselves on sportsmanship and treating our opponents with respect. This individual's actions did not reflect those values or meet our standards and will not be tolerated. The matter has been addressed internally, and I want to personally apologize to the University of Florida and its entire football program. Having access to our field comes with a responsibility to represent Texas with class and respect. This individual failed to uphold that responsibility and has been permanently banned from Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.”

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian said they haven't hurt the blitz enough or discouraged the blitz enough. He thinks there are things they can do differently schematically, and that has been addressed.

Per ESPN sources, Texas’ Colin Simmons is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. He’s not expected play this weekend against No. 7 Ole Miss and the injury is considered week-to-week. Orangebloods first reported high ankle sprain for Simmons.

Steve Sarkisian said the worst part of the Florida loss was Texas' execution in the critical situations on both sides of the ball.

Texas has pulled a second half no show in a must-win game. Anyone for Cheez-It Bowl II?

Colin Simmons has an injury. Trainers checked his foot and then his ankle. Texas' best player is being helped off the field. As if things weren't going bad enough for the Horns.

Arch Manning has thrown it 14 times. Horns have run in 23 times. Florida is the worst pass defense in the SEC.

Horns followed that long Florida drive with a crisp three-and-out.
Gators now have more yards (209) than Texas (176) and this drive has lasted 8 minutes already ... 3rd down at the Texas 8.

Tramell Jones Jr. has completed 10 of his last 11 passes against this Texas defense, which is categorically failing to make him uncomfortable in the pocket. We're tied, 17-17, with 6:50 to play in the third.

And just like that, Texas' CFP future is very much on the line. Gators drive 15 plays for 69 yards to tie it 17-17. The Gators went 5-for-5 on third down on that drive behind backup QB Tramell Jones.

OMG, this is brutal. WVU staffer adds to Cincy player's pain. That 'R' stands for reverse, sir.
Listen, I believe people have good intentions far more often than not. But the sweatshirt on the driver is ... tough optics

That's four consecutive third downs Florida has converted.

The Horns ran for 108 yards on 18 carries (5.7 average) but struggled to finish drives in the first half. The 17-10 lead doesn't feel tenuous but after last week's theatrics against Oklahoma, it's anything but safe.
