The Tennessee Volunteers (5 - 6, 2 - 5 CONF) draw a tough road matchup this week as they take on the hometown Vanderbilt Commodores (5 - 8, 2 - 5 CONF). Vanderbilt will be hosting this game at the Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, TN.

Tennessee comes into this game as the underdog despite having won two of their past three games, including an upset over #11 UK. Vanderbilt just notched an overtime win against Mississippi and the Commodores will look to build on that success.

There's no telling which Vols team will show up on any given week. Tennessee is scoring 24 PPG on offense while being led by the consistent play of QB, Jarrett Guarantano (1,768 yards, 11 TD, 2 INT). Tennessee is surrendering 27 PPG to opposing teams. The Vanderbilt Commodores are looking to score their second straight win in order to start closing out the season strong. Vanderbilt is scoring 27 PPG on offense this season while racking up nearly 400 yards total from scrimmage. QB Kyle Shurmur (2,477 yards, 20 TD, 6 INT) has been electric at times and he has the ability to dissect Tennessee's secondary. If Shurmur is accurate early, Vanderbilt could build a quick and commanding lead.
