Vanderbilt Hoping to Play Role of Spoiler Against Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Vanderbilt Commodores have had nothing like the season first-year coach Derek Mason targeted during Southeastern Conference media days, and now they have only one game left before a merciful end to their season.
And as the old saying goes, misery loves company.
The Commodores’ best hope is beating an SEC team once and avoiding becoming the first team in this league to lose all eight conference games by double digits.
In-state rival Tennessee (5-6, 2-5) needs a win Saturday to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2010.
Senior defensive tackle Vince Taylor says winning the state championship would bring the Commodores (3-8, 0-7) great satisfaction. Taylor says it’d be good for both the Vols and Commodores to be stuck watching a bowl game.
