T.J. Houshmandzadeh has publicly called out Urban Meyer for his recent comments regarding a potential suspension of Texas defender Colin Simmons for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Meyer, on his podcast, stated that he would have suspended Simmons for a controversial celebration during Texas' 20-17 win against Tennessee, where Simmons mimicked urinating on the field.

He pointed out that Simmons played impressively, recording 5.5 sacks, setting a Texas single-game record.
