Vanderbilt hasn’t lost to a I-AA opponent in program history. Can a Tennessee State team ranked No. 25 in its side of the division break that streak?
The smart money says no, but smart money also said to take Georgia at -14.5 last week and never look back. Given the Commodores’ history of grasping momentum with one hand and throwing it away with the other, no team can be overlooked — even one from the Ohio Valley Conference.
The Tigers won’t have similarly optimistic odds against Vanderbilt when they trek across Nashville for a showdown at Dudley Field.
