What to Know About the Commodores

Vanderbilt is coming off back-to-back losses to Auburn and Georgia. The Commodores kept their last game close in the first half, but the Bulldogs dominated time of possession and ran away with a victory.

Vanderbilt averages the fourth fewest rushing yards per game in the conference (123). Keep an eye on wide receiver Junior Sherrill. He's had a fantastic season and should be a key contributor on Saturday.

The Commodores are coached by Clark Lea, who took the program to new heights last season. Vanderbilt hasn't lost at home since Nov. 30, 2024.
