The Texas Longhorns and the Vanderbilt Commodores will be for an SEC showdown Saturday afternoon.

After the loss last weekend, the Longhorns' margin for error is slim to none. They know that they need to win this game today to stay in College Football Playoff contention. The Longhorns do have impressive wins on their resume over Michigan and Oklahoma. A win today would go a long way for this Longhorns team.
