Texas Longhorns vs. Vanderbilt Commodores: Live In-Game Updates

After a loss to Georgia, Texas is ready to bounce back with a win over the newly ranked No. 25 Vanderbilt in Nashville.

The Commodores have yet to lose a game at FirstBank Stadium this season.

Texas will enter the game missing some key players such as wide receiver Isaiah Bond and safety Andrew Mukuba, as well as running back Velton Gardner who will miss his fourth consecutive game. In the quarterback room, despite not having the best game against Georgia, Quinn Ewers will start next against Vanderbilt head coach Steve Sarkisian

defended his performance and further confirmed that he is still QB1.

In the Commodore quarterback department, Diego Pavia’s transfer to New Mexico State was impressive all around. Some of his honors as a graduate player include SEC Offensive Player of the Week in Week 6, the Maxwell and Davey O’Brien Awards National Player of the Week and Davey O’Brien Great 8 after the home win against Alabama.

The Horns are coming off a loss and the Commodores are coming off a 24-14 win over Ball State in a non-conference game, and Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea thinks his opponents will be ready for battle.

“My expectation is that they will come here ready to play, and what we need to do in response is not to match their energy, but to set the tone and dictate the energy on our end, again, to be the best representation of our program we can be,” Lea said.

The ranked SEC matchup begins at 3:15 PM CT. Follow us for updates.
