Texas Longhorns claimed a crucial 27-24 victory over Vanderbilt, marking their first Southeastern Conference road win. Led by quarterback Quinn Ewers, who completed 17 consecutive passes after an early interception, Texas showcased resilience. Ewers ended with 288 yards and three touchdowns, while coach Steve Sarkisian emphasized the win as a testament to the team's culture and toughness. Despite a strong comeback attempt from Vanderbilt, the Longhorns held firm, aided by a critical interception from linebacker Liona Lefau. The Commodores, managing to secure two touchdowns late in the game, ultimately fell short, yet demonstrated their capability to compete amongst ranked teams.
