Our Vanderbilt vs. Texas predictions think the Commodores can be trusted to take the Longhorns to the very end.
The No. 20 Texas Longhorns return home for the first time since September 20 to host the No. 9 Vanderbilt Commodores Will Vandy’s feel-good story come crashing to a halt in a difficult road game, or will the Commodores capitalize against a getable Texas team?Here are our early thoughts on the spread and total for this week’s game.
We will have a full game preview later in the week.are arguably the top storyline of the 2025 college football season, sitting with a 7-1 record heading into Week 10. They’re in for a strong test as they hit the road for the first time since October 4 to visit the. At this point, the Commodores have built up enough trust that I expect them to hang close and be in position for a potential upset. Texas hasn’t proven capable of moving the ball consistently, ranking 110th in success rate while being unable to block up front . Vandy has far from a perfect defense, but the Commodores excel at getting into the backfield . If they can make Texas a one-dimensional offense leaning on the mercurial Arch Manning, they’ll have to like their chances. It’ll be strength-on-strength on the other side of the ball. Vandy leads the nation in EPA per play on offense and hasn’t averaged less than 5.0 yards per play in any game this season. Diego Pavia may not light up the scoreboard in this matchup, but he should move the ball enough to find a cover.Although Texas is coming off a high-scoring 45-38 win over Mississippi State in overtime, that result is an anomaly due to the high pace of the Bulldogs. Texas was 2-5 O/U heading into that game, and a matchup against Vandy brings a much different game style. The Commodores have put up big numbers against overmatched opponents, but have averaged 15.5 ppg in their two most difficult tests . Texas has a suffocating defense that should be on point at home for the first time in over a month. If Vandy’s defense is considered the weak link of this team, consider that the Commodores rank 59 spots higher in success rate than the Longhorns’ offense . Steve Sarkisian typically prefers not to push the tempo , meaning this should be a slow crawl of a game. Manning was concussed on the first play of overtime against Mississippi State, leaving his status uncertain early in the week. Backup Matthew Caldwell posted a 13-to-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio with Troy a season ago, so this isn’t an inspiring quarterback situation.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
