Ahead of the showdown between the two SEC teams at DKR on Saturday, the Vanderbilt head coach gave his thoughts on the two Longhorn signal callers, given that he could up against either one of them in Austin.

The Vanderbilt defense came up tall on the final Hail Mary against Missouri, holding back the Tigers as they had all day. That made for a Commodores win, their second in a row at home against a ranked opponent.

Speaking on the SEC Weekly Teleconference, Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea expressed his admiration for the toughness Sarkisian’s team displayed in those two wins. “This is a resilient team, it’s a team that’s never out of the game. No lead is safe,” Lea said.

Coaching legend Nick Saban sent a strong warning to the Vanderbilt Commodores and their fans about coach Clark Lea.
