Comments
Vandy has struggled for the most part his season but the Commodores seem to have improved some over the past few games. A big part of Vandy’s problems this season has been the inability to score a significant amount of points. The lack of a consistent offense has meant the defense stays on the field way too long. If the Commodores can get decent number of sustained drives with some ending in touchdowns then they might be able to at least play the Vols closer. However, The chances of them actually beating Tennessee are pretty remote. The Vols win by at least 3 touchdowns.
