The Texas Longhorns“Adding to the SEC meant they would be going up against the Vanderbilt Commodores for the first time since 1928.

And Texas’ 27-24 win over Vanderbilt at FirstBank Stadium was the Longhorns’ first win in Nashville since 1925.

Quinn Ewers bounced back from last week’s tough loss to Georgia and threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns.

He threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr. in the second quarter to put Texas up 21-7. It was Moore’s second touchdown of the game.

“Well, I thought he showed great composure and I really thought he played well,” he told SEC Network’s Alyssa Lang, via On3 Sports . “Sometimes you can’t control the balls flipping in the air. Right place at the right time for them. But at the end of the day I thought he played really well, he was efficient, he got the ball to our linemen when they needed it”.

Vanderbilt attempted an improbable comeback.

It started with Diego Pavia’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Junior Sherrill in the third quarter to make it a one-score game. Pavia then found Eli Stowers for a touchdown pass with 46 seconds left to cut the deficit to three.
