No. 5 Texas Football’s Running Game Generates Timely Plays, Helps Longhorns Hold Off No. 25 Vanderbilt
The No. 5 Texas Longhorns’ running game came through with timely plays to help the team hold off the No. 25 Vanderbilt Commodores 27-24 on Saturday ¹. After a disappointing performance on the ground in last week’s loss to Georgia, the Longhorns’ rushing attack still has room for improvement, but it made the necessary plays to secure the win ¹.
Coach Steve Sarkisian’s decision to run the football on third-and-long situations paid off, leading to two second-half field goals by Bert Auburn ¹. This helped the Longhorns leave Nashville with their ninth consecutive road victory, a streak that dates back to October 22, 2022 ¹.
The Longhorns’ quarterback, Quinn Ewers, played confidently, despite the team’s sloppy second half ². The defense also made big plays, with a trio of unsung players providing key contributions to the win ².
With this victory, Texas improves to 7-1 overall and 3-1 in the SEC ¹. The Longhorns will look to build on this momentum as they head into their next game.
