The Vanderbilt Commodores need to shore up a defense that is allowing 35.3 points per game. They will stay at home another week and welcome the ETSU Buccaneers at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Vanderbilt Stadium. The Commodores stagger in eager to bring about an end to their three-game losing streak.
Vanderbilt has to be aching after a bruising 38-14 defeat to the Kentucky Wildcats last week. QB Riley Neal wasn't much of a difference maker for the Commodores; besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw one interception with only 3.89 yards per passing attempt.
Meanwhile, ETSU didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Mercer Bears, but they still walked away with a 38-33 victory. The team accrued the bulk of their points in the first half (31) and coasted on those for the win.
ETSU's win lifted them to 3-8 while Vanderbilt's loss dropped them down to 2-8. We'll see if ETSU can repeat their recent success or if Vanderbilt bounces back and reverse their fortune.
