After prevailing in a tough road challenge last weekend, Texas football is back in Austin this weekend to face Vanderbilt — potentially without starting quarterback Arch Manning, who is reportedly following concussion protocol after an injury against Mississippi State.

Now, after a month away from Austin, Steve Sarkisian and his team will return to the Forty Acres in a top-20 showdown against the Vanderbilt Commodores, one of the best stories in the sport this year. Prepared to be without Arch Manning potentially, can Matthew Caldwell lead the Longhorns to an upset and keep their season alive?

This season, Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia has emerged as one of college football's top quarterbacks. As Texas coach Steve Sarkisian put it Monday, "Obviously, the quarterback is the tip of the spear."

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.
