The No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers (9-2) will look to bounce back from a two-game road skid when they travel to face the Vanderbilt Commodores (6-5) on Saturday afternoon.
Tennessee has suffered defeats in its last two away games, falling to Arkansas and Georgia, leaving the Vols in a near-must-win situation if they hope to keep their College Football Playoff dreams alive.
Vanderbilt, already bowl-eligible, has struggled recently, losing three of its last four games after a strong October run.
While Tennessee has typically controlled this rivalry, Vanderbilt has notched a few notable wins in recent years, including multiple outright victories over the Vols in the past decade. This season has been one of the best in recent memory for Vanderbilt, including an unforgettable victory over No. 1 Alabama as underdogs in October—marking their first-ever win over a top-ranked team.
