Vanderbilt will finally have the odds in their favor on Saturday - but while a win over I-AA Austin Peay could be a morale booster, it won't do much to raise their national profile.
With all due respect to the proud Peay alumni out there, the Governors simply aren't a good football team. Take their 2015 so far as an example. Through two games, Austin Peay has been outscored 80-13. They've gained 433 total yards of offense. They're allowing opponents to convert nearly 60 percent of their third downs. Most importantly, they've given up seven touchdowns in nine red zone trips.
