The Longhorns showed signs of being an elite team but still makes too many senseless mistakes and can't protect QB Quinn Ewers.
NASHVILLE — Given the gigantic betting line on this game, Texas might well have expected its matchup with historical doormat Vanderbilt to be a breather. It was but only if you consider the fifth-ranked Longhorns didn’t breathe easy until DeAndre Moore corralled the 25th-ranked Commodores’ desperation onside kick on one bounce in the final minute to seal the outcome.
” It did Saturday because Vanderbilt’s magician at quarterback threw a short touchdown pass near the end of the third quarter and another with 46 seconds left on an 8-yard toss to Eli Stowers to force Texas to hold its breath. In between, however, Longhorns linebacker Liona Lefau picked off a Pavia pass on fourth-and-2 as defensive end Barryn Sorrell was in hot pursuit of the scrambling quarterback.
