Vanderbilt can't afford to lose on Saturday if they want to remain in the hunt for a postseason berth. Fortunately, they're playing a Kentucky team that is in the midst of a four-game skid.
The 3-6 Commodores will host the 4-5 Wildcats in a game that could determine who finishes last in the SEC East. Vanderbilt is stuck in the middle of an up-and-down season that has featured one conference win (Missouri), two tough conference losses where the 'Dores performed above their expectations (Ole Miss, Florida), and two nearly offense-free, borderline inexplicable losses (South Carolina, Houston). Kentucky's heat map has been less volatile.
