Overview

• Bryant stepped on kicker Max Gilbert’s right foot after a first‑quarter extra point and was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct on the ensuing kickoff.
• Tennessee holder Jackson Ross pursued Bryant after the stomp before being restrained by teammates and officials.
• Officials did not eject Bryant, while UAB cornerback Donald Lee was disqualified earlier in the quarter for targeting.
• A clip posted by Vol Report spread widely as SEC Network’s Taylor Zarzour called the move “bush league” and analyst Matt Stinchcomb labeled it “stupid.”
• No additional discipline has been announced, and outlets note the AAC or NCAA could still review the incident as Tennessee cruised to a lopsided victory.
