Following a 30-10 loss to LSU last week, Vanderbilt presented one last opportunity for Tennessee to not only get their first SEC win of the 2017 season, but to avoid their first eight loss season in program history.
The home standing Vols weren’t the only team seeking their first league win entering Saturday’s contest. Vanderbilt, who went bowling last season in a 6-7 campaign, was also looking to end the season in the win column, despite also having a 4-6 record.
Unfortunately, Tennessee wasn’t able to avoid this historic low point in their long and proud history, as Vanderbilt used a strong second half to top the Vols, 42-24 in Knoxville.
