Who are the Vanderbilt vs. Texas game announcers tonight on SEC Network? All you need to know about Week 9 game’s coverage team
The No. 5 Texas Longhorns (6-1, 2-1 SEC) hit the road to face the No. 25 Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville on Saturday. Week 8 was tough for the Longhorns, who suffered their first loss, while the Commodores extended their winning streak to three, bringing their record to 5-2.
In a rough game, the Georgia Bulldogs dominated Texas with a 30-15 win, frustrating Longhorns fans, who even threw bottles and trash on the field during the game. Head coach Steve Sarkisian’s plan didn’t work out, and he briefly replaced quarterback Quinn Ewers with backup Arch Manning in the second quarter. Though Ewers returned in the second half, it was too late to turn things around.
Vanderbilt, on the other hand, controlled their game against Ball State from the start, leading 14-7 at halftime and finishing with a 24-14 win. With another SEC battle on the way, here's a closer look at who will be calling the game.
