Texas Football releases Longhorns vs. Vanderbilt hype video

Looking to reignite the Longhorn Nation’s excitement following last weekend’s home loss to Georgia, Texas football continued its weekly installation of hype videos, releasing another on Friday as the team heads to Nashville, Tennessee.

The Texas Longhorns play the Vanderbilt Commodores, a program that made its AP Poll debut last weekend at No. 25 after picking up wins over Alabama, Kentucky and Ball State in its last three games. Texas fell four spots after its first upset of the season and now sits at No. 5, hoping to maintain its top-five ranking with a comeback win this weekend.

In the team’s latest video, head coach Steve Sarkisian begins by talking about how competitors must deal with the harshness of defeat in order to grow from the experience and come back even stronger. Some of the veteran players on the team already know what that feels like, thanks to last year’s Red River loss to Oklahoma, Texas’ only loss of the 2023 regular season.

“Every team wants to remain undefeated in a season. “That’s something you want to achieve, but when you take that loss, there’s no way you can just dwell on what’s already happened,” Kelvin Banks Jr. said Monday after the Georgia game. “We have to kind of regroup and go from there and I feel like our team understands that because like you said, we went through it last year and lost. We lost last Saturday. So I feel like we understand how to do this. “We need to regroup, get back to work and just focus on our next opponent.”

And as the caption says, Texas must now prove that it belongs not only in the SEC but also in the College Football Playoff, as another loss this season could hurt the program’s chances of winning either championship .

Check out the full video below:

“60 minutes of execution, 60 minutes of showing who you are and what we do.”

Vanderbilt has already shown that it has the talent and determination to beat a No. 1 ranked college football team, and Texas is absolutely not in the clear.

The Longhorns haven’t beaten the Commodores in Nashville since 1899, and this year’s team is hungry to break that streak. However, Vanderbilt will be supported by a roaring crowd of fans and quarterback Diego Pavia at the helm to create a daunting environment for Texas on Saturday afternoon.
