Vanderbilt can validate Derek Mason's coaching performance by beating Tennessee, but it won't be an easy task for their limited offense in Knoxville.
Derek Mason can validate his second year at the helm of Vanderbilt football with a win on Saturday. It won't be easy though; he'll have to beat a Tennessee team that has won four straight games in a raucous Neyland Stadium.
The Commodores are in the middle of an offensive crisis after being shut out on two of their last four games. They'll have to find an answer for their passing game woes; they completed only five passes for 23 yards against Texas A&M last weekend.
