Kentucky needs a win to snap a four-game losing streak. Vanderbilt needs a win to keep their bowl hopes alive. So who comes out ahead in Nashville?
Vanderbilt still has postseason aspirations, but that hope will be all but extinguished if they can't squeeze out a home win against Kentucky this weekend. The 3-6 Commodores need at least two wins in their final three games to sniff the NCAA's new definition of bowl eligibility, and neither scenario is entirely likely without a win over the 4-5 Wildcats.
They'll need to step up their offense to get there.
