The Tennessee Volunteers obviously have the horses to blow the doors off here, but the loss to quarterback Hendon Hooker throws a monkey wrench into everything. The Vols aren’t nearly as good with a backup in place, and who knows just how the team as a whole is feeling. It’s a crushing blow. The Vanderbilt Commodores aren’t good, but they should have a packed house with a top-5 school coming to town. It’s a rivalry game, and the Commodores become bowl eligible with a victory. Also, there are 32 seniors on this roster. Give me the points.
