Vanderbilt knows to rely on Sedrick Alexander, having scored at least once in six of the Commodores' seven games against Power Four opponents. At Texas, in particular, expect Vanderbilt to use Alexander and Diego Pavia in tandem in the running game, largely to have an extra body involved near the goal line. That may prompt an instinct to bet on Pavia, but the reality is it will often feature the ball in Alexander's hands while Pavia momentarily occupies a defender.
This game should be played at a very slow tempo. It'll be strength-on-strength when Vandy has the ball and weakness-on-weakness when Texas does.
