I don’t know about y’all but I think after last Saturday, Texas is gonna blow out Vandy.

[MrWytee]

I would like to see an angry, motivated offensive line dominate the trenches....

I think this is the most important game in Sark's time at Texas.  He really needs to get to the aggy game with only the loss to Georgia.  

Back to back losses would really set us back.  Unlikely,  but possible,  aggy gets to our game with only one loss then we need to only have one loss also.  

Lot of teams with only one loss,  so lots of scenarios could play out  and a Texas team with 2 losses is in a tough spot.  This is truly a must win for Sark.

Drinkwitz added QB Diego Pavia does a tremendous job of adding some yards – meaning he turns 2nd & 8 into a 2nd & 5 or a 3rd & 6 into a 3rd & 3 which completely changes the complexion of the playbook and call on the ensuing snap.

[CJ Vogel]

Drinkwitz said it felt like 60% of the Vanderbilt snaps with the ball in Pavia's hands were "offscript" where his improvisation takes over.

[CJ Vogel]

Alabama QB Kalen DeBoer calls Pavia "slippery" and is understanding of the offense allows him to be successful with the confidence to run the offense within his control.

[CJ Vogel]

"He has an edge that their team feeds off of."

Vanderbilt HC Clark Lea calls Texas "fast and physical" and is adds his team is excited for the challenge at home again this weekend.

[CJ Vogel]

"Regardless of what happened last week, Texas is a national championship contending team." – Clark Lea.

[CJ Vogel]

Clark Lea says the plan for Vandy this weekend is to keep the Texas offense sidelined with their offense and to make them work down the field methodically vs. the big play.

[CJ Vogel]

Texas HC Steve Sarkisian says this game will be a huge test for the Longhorns.

"The quarterback is one that I admire a ton."

[CJ Vogel]

Sarkisian says Mykel Williams looked much better in-person on Saturday than he had on tape coming into the game, mentioning his injury status earlier in the year.

[CJ Vogel]

"We've got players with great leadership and great competitive spirit about them."

[CJ Vogel]

Sark: "We will find out Saturday if we walk in with a chip on our shoulder or not."

I would be good with our offense methodically working the ball downfield as long as we score touchdowns. As good as our defense is that’s a winning plan.
