Vanderbilt's big rally against Texas fell short in a 34-31 loss that could turn what could have been one of the great seasons in program into just a good one.

Take a look at which current Vanderbilt commits put together the most impressive performances for their high school teams this week.

How did Vanderbilt tenaciously trim into Texas' 24-point lead Saturday? If you're a Longhorn, you can either credit Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia or blame the referees.

The Commodores have consistently exceeded expectations and are 6-2 ATS on the season. They are 2-1 ATS in away games and 2-0 ATS as a single-digit underdog. Vanderbilt has allowed 24 points or fewer in 3 of 4 conference games.

The Texas Longhorns won their fourth straight SEC game Saturday, a critical 34-31 win over No. 9 Vanderbilt powered by QB Arch Manning and a stifling defense.

For week 10 of college football, the No. 20 Texas Longhorns will face off against the No. 9 Vanderbilt Commodores at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Vanderbilt football is putting the finishing touches on its 2026 recruiting class ahead of the early signing period. The Commodores are taking advantage of a successful 2025 season by adding a handful of strong later commits. Vanderbilt is bowl eligible for the second straight year and has a shot at the College Football Playoff.
