Steve Sarkisian’s No. 20 Texas Longhorns (6-2) will face the No. 9 Vanderbilt Commodores (7-1) in Week 10 of the 2025 season this Saturday. The highly anticipated matchup between these two Southeastern Conference (SEC) teams will kick off at noon ET from Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.
Ahead of the Texas-Vanderbilt clash, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian has heaped praise on Vanderbilt’s star player. “He’s one of the more competitive players I’ve competed against; he’s their leading rusher. He obviously passes the ball; he makes plays at critical moments when they need to have it. All the praise that he’s getting is well deserved,” Sarkisian said.
The Vanderbilt quarterback has completed 139 of 202 passes for 1,698 yards, throwing 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. In addition to his passing prowess, he has rushed for 458 yards and five touchdowns. The Commodores have only one loss on the season, which came against No. 4 Alabama.
