The Texas Longhorns are coming off a crazy 45-38 win over Mississippi State on the road in overtime. Longhorns QB Arch Manning left the game after going into concussion protocol. Texas still managed to complete the comeback without him. The Texas defense allowed a season high 38 points to Mississippi State. The defense will look to bounce back in a big way against a rising Vanderbilt offense.
Vanderbilt defeated Missouri at home in a close battle. Missouri was one yard away from tying the game with no time left on a Hail Mary attempt. The Missouri receiver caught it, but was just shy of the end zone. Vandy is now 7-1, but does not control its own destiny to the SEC Championship game just yet. They need a big win against Texas this weekend and need either Texas A&M or Alabama to lose. There are currently six teams in the conference competing for the conference title.
Manning returned to practice this week as he prepares to play against Vanderbilt in what will be a huge game. The team is "hopeful" he can return to action . He is listed as a " game-time decision " according to On3.
Manning passed for a season-high of 346 yards against the Bulldogs. He also completed a season-high 29 passes with three touchdowns. He's led his team to a three-game win streak after a rough start to the campaign. This won't be an easy game to come back to from, but Manning is showing major strides in his passing game. The Longhorns won't win this game if they don't see success in that area.
