After prevailing in a tough road challenge last weekend, Texas football is back in Austin this weekend to face Vanderbilt — potentially without starting quarterback Arch Manning, who is reportedly following concussion protocol after an injury against Mississippi State.

NASHVILLE—-On the surface, it appeared to be a barometer of progress for this Vanderbilt program that had rarely competed with a team like Steve Sarkisian’s eve

Diego Pavia of Vanderbilt football was supposed to take on Texas' Arch Manning, but the matchup may not happen due to injury.

Caldwell has become a microwave of sorts for Texas’ kitchen. He came off the bench to snap off a 50-yard sprint against Sam Houston earlier this season and then became a cult hero during SEC play with a 26-yard throw late against Florida after Manning lost his helmet and that spine-tingling overtime dime to Mosley.

Manning exited Saturday's win over Mississippi State after he hit his head on the ground while diving forward in overtime.

This season, Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia has emerged as one of college football's top quarterbacks. As Texas coach Steve Sarkisian put it Monday, "Obviously, the quarterback is the tip of the spear."
