After a 30-15 loss to Georgia in Week 8, the Texas Longhorns needed a rebound.

To accomplish this, it earned a 27-24 victory over Vanderbilt, although it was a little too close for comfort.

The Commodores took action early after an interception of Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers. Vanderbilt would turn this into a touchdown moments later and keep Texas on guard.

At that point, the Longhorns fired back, scoring three consecutive touchdowns before a field goal in the final seconds by the Commodores made it 21-10 at halftime.

The Longhorns restored the 14-point lead with a field goal, but a Vanderbilt touchdown brought the Commodores within seven. However, multiple interceptions and another field goal sealed the victory for the Longhorns.

Texas’ defense forced three turnovers and limited the Commodores to just 261 yards. Quintrevion Wisner was the Longhorns’ leading rusher with 79 yards on 17 carries, while DeAndre Moore was the leading receiver with six catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns.

Ewers went 27 of 37 for 288 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. While it wasn’t a perfect day, it was still an improved performance that should bode well for the rest of the season.

Fans took to social media to hype Ewers and the Longhorns’ redemption performance.
