The pride, passion, and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Finebaum Show, Our One podcast.

This might be college football.

Yeah, man, we have made it back to Austin, the capital of Texas on a gorgeous late.

And I mean late October day, it's Halloween.

Good afternoon and welcome in as we get ready for Vanderbilt and Texas and of course

everything else tomorrow on the schedule.

What an afternoon, what a week it's been.

We say hello to you from Austin as Roman and Tim

join us and what's a lot to talk about. Let's cover this game first, Roman. Svalie Vanderbilt's been

the talk of the SEC this year and the talk of college football. They come in here with the

Longhorns pretty desperate for a victory. Yeah, my passion project has continued to roll upon this season.

They're doing extremely well.

I'm talking about Vanderbilt University for those that don't know.

And you've got to be honest.

Vanderbilt's been able to win games.

And the only reason we're not used to is because we're just not used to saying Vanderbilt's a good football team. It doesn't sound right. It doesn't sound normal. And so you've got to get used to that. And last week, they showed me versus Missouri that they still have the ability to beat a good team when things don't always go their way. They don't win the time of possession. They don't run the ball that effectively. They weren't that good on third down, but they were still able to find ways to win the game, be effective defensively, and ultimately win a game late. And so you got to give Vanderbilt the credit. The same way we give credit to Alabama for finding ways to win games, the same way we give credit to Georgia for finding ways to win games. We got to give Vanderbilt that same type of grace and credit because that's what they went out there.

Because they didn't have their A game.

Yes.

And they really got outplayed a lot of the game, but they made crucial stops in the red zone.

They made crucial stops.

They came up with huge conversions on third down.
