On paper, Vanderbilt visiting Middle Tennessee of Conference USA should be a mismatch with the Commodores from the mighty Southeastern Conference.
Instead, the Commodores find themselves underdogs as they resume a rivalry with a program not even an hour's drive from Nashville trying to avoid another loss to a C-USA team after dropping the opener 14-12 loss to Western Kentucky. They also take a three-game skid to Murfreesboro for the first game between these teams since 2005.
Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason says his Commodores don't care about the line or history in a series where none of the coaches or players are still around.
