2014 Opponent: Vanderbilt (11/29/14 @ Vanderbilt Stadium)
Vanderbilt finished their 2013 season with a 41-24 win over Houston in the Compass Bowl.
The Commodores led 24-0, but Houston rallied to tie the game at 24. It was all Vanderbilt from there. The Commodores scored 17 unanswered points as they closed the season with a win.
Vanderbilt barely beat Tennessee in 2013. I wouldn’t expect the Vols to lose to Vandy again in 2014, regardless of whether or not James Franklin is patrolling the sidelines for the Commodores.
