The No. 5 Texas Longhorns narrowly defeated the No. 25 Vanderbilt Commodores with a final score of 27-24 in Nashville. Texas managed to hold off Vanderbilt's late-game surge, which included a touchdown with 46 seconds remaining. Despite allowing four sacks, two turnovers, and accruing 108 penalty yards, Texas improved to 7-1 overall and 3-1 in the SEC. Diego Pavia's fourth-and-goal touchdown pass to Junior Sherrill was a highlight for Vanderbilt, but it wasn't enough to secure the win. Vanderbilt, 18.5-point underdogs, showed resilience but fell short. This victory marks Texas' fourth consecutive ranked road win, the longest streak in the country. The Longhorns will have a bye next week before hosting Florida on November 9. Texas also bounced back from a loss to Georgia.
