Jeremy Pruitt gets his first shot at the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday as he takes his 2018 Tennessee football team into Nashville. There is a lot riding on this game. Both teams are looking to get to the six-win mark for an opportunity to play in a bowl game.
Vanderbilt opens as a 3.5-point favorite, which hasn’t happened since 2012 when the Commodores were 2.5-point favorites. They ended up winning that game 41-18 and was the last straw for then head coach Derek Dooley. Will the season end the same way or will Tennessee end the losing streak?
