It seems obvious. Tennessee football has lost three straight to the Vanderbilt Commodores, and the Vols are on a four-game winning streak this year while Vanderbilt is 3-8. So they are the better team and clearly not going to overlook these guys while playing them at home.
However, history tells a completely different story. These guys had a bowl to play for last year when facing Vandy and got blown out. They had a New Year’s Six bowl to play for back in 2016 and lost in Nashville then. And it doesn’t stop there.
No matter how resurgent Tennessee football is in November, Vanderbilt can always give them trouble.
