Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Texas Longhorns Prediction

I’m on Vanderbilt here. Do I love the Commodores more at home? Yes, but the Longhorns are still hard for me to trust even after hte Alabama win and I just wonder if the Longhorns have anything left in the tank to be able to hang with Vanderbilt here. I’m guessing not, as I just think Vandy’s firepower offensively will be too much here. Give me the Commodores.
