Vanderbilt will make a second attempt to become bowl eligible on Saturday afternoon when it visits Auburn. The Commodores (5-3, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) saw their three-game winning streak snapped in a 27-24 defeat against then-No. 5 Texas last Saturday. Auburn (3-5, 1-4), in turn, halted a four-game losing streak with a 24-10 win at Kentucky on Saturday. The Tigers recorded a 31-16 victory over the Commodores last season in Nashville in large part due to Jarquez Hunter, who rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns. But the game at the forefront of this week's conversation is Auburn's 2023 contest with New Mexico State that came two weeks later.
