Crunch Time: Analyzing Texas’ third-down and red-zone performance vs. Vanderbilt

In a gritty 27-24 win against the No. 25 Vanderbilt Commodores, the No. 5 Texas Longhorns bounced back behind a stellar performance from quarterback Quinn Ewers, who shook off two tipped interceptions to throw for 288 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73 percent of his passes, including a streak of 17 in a row in the first half.

While the offense and Ewers looked more in rhythm on Saturday than last week against Georgia, the showing was far from mistake-free football. The Longhorns turned the ball over twice, gave up four sacks, and had six offensive penalties.
