Overview

• Officials assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after Sirad Bryant stomped on the right foot of Tennessee kicker Max Gilbert following a successful extra point.
• Bryant first collided with holder Jackson Ross before the stomp, prompting Ross to pursue him as at least three officials threw flags.
• Bryant was not ejected on the play, whereas UAB cornerback Donald Lee had been disqualified earlier in the quarter for targeting.
• Tennessee seized control early with 21 first-quarter points, including two touchdown passes by quarterback Joey Aguilar, and led 21-0 at halftime.
• UAB managed only three first downs in the opening quarter, and the performance drew attention to the program’s 9-18 record under coach Trent Dilfer.
