Tennessee and Vanderbilt will wrap up the regular season on Saturday, playing their annual in-state rivalry game. Knoxville will play host this time around, as the 2-9 Commodores will make the trip east to take on the 7-4 Volunteers.
Josh Heupel’s team has ended the 2023 season on a down note, taking back to back blowout losses to Missouri and Georgia. They’re banged up, suddenly struggling in a big way on offense, and very likely are looking forward to a month off before a bowl game.
For Vanderbilt, it’s all about playing for pride in a rivalry game.
