“That game was tough to watch.”

Next week, the Longhorns have a bye week, followed by a home game against the Florida Gators. This bye could be a crucial opportunity for Texas to regroup.
They have dropped to 6th in the AP Poll.
Despite their victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores, Texas fell from fifth to sixth in this week’s AP Poll, as the Miami Hurricanes moved up to fifth place. Quinn Ewers showed improvement this weekend, but he’ll need to continue to elevate his performance.
Ewers completed 27 of 37 passes, totaling 288 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions, which is an improvement over his performance against the Georgia Bulldogs last week. Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns still have a chance to reach the SEC Championship Game this season
