How to Watch Vanderbilt at Texas: Streaming Info, TV Channel

Are you without YouTube TV and looking to watch Saturday’s full slate with ESPN, ESPN2 and (for certain markets) ABC? There are a few great options, including Sling TV.
Saturday’s slate is a good one, and perhaps one of the best games on TV is Vanderbilt at Texas. The Commodores are in the middle of one of their best seasons in recent history, and they have a real shot at the College Football Playoff — especially if they can escape Austin with a win. Incredibly, this will be Vanderbilt’s first trip to Austin since 1903.
And Texas will certainly need the homefield advantage. The Longhorns have struggled against teams of consequence this season and already fell to Ohio State and Florida. Vanderbilt is the best team the Longhorns have played since Arch Manning was completely befuddled by Ohio State’s defense in Columbus.

So, why is this matchup so important? For starters, both teams are still alive for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Vanderbilt has lost just once on the year, thanks in part to star quarterback Diego Pavia. The veteran QB is smart with the football and a threat through the air and with his legs. Only Arkansas’s Taylen Green has rushed for more yards as a QB this season in the SEC.
Texas, on the other hand, can’t afford another loss and will need to lean on its defense and home crowd Saturday. It’s a task that’ll be made that much tougher without Michael Taaffe, Texas’s star defensive back who will miss Week 10’s game.
That brings us to Arch Manning, who will need to play the game of his life against a Vanderbilt defense that has drastically improved. Manning had 3 touchdowns last Saturday to fuel the Longhorns’ comeback win over Mississippi State.
It’s tough to know what to expect in this one. Will Texas’s defense keep Pavia and Co in check or is Vanderbilt set to post yet another statement win?
