Can Vanderbilt get revenge again?

Last season, Vanderbilt went to Columbia, Missouri and lost a heartbreaker of a game 30-27 in overtime against Missouri. The loss certainly stung the team knowing it was just a field goal away from pulling off a big upset.

This year, the two teams meet with very different circumstances compared to last season. This time around, both teams are competing for playoff chances. Both teams enter the week at 6-1 and coming off nice wins against SEC competition.

For Vanderbilt, it is coming off a big 31-24 win over No. 10 LSU. The win was emblematic of the culture change and attitude change that head coach Clark Lea has been able to implement into the program in a short amount of time. The team came through on the plays it needed to most as the Commodores became bowl eligible for the second consecutive season.

But that does not matter to Vanderbilt. Sure, it is nice to go back to a bowl game worst case scenario. But everybody knows this year Vanderbilt has its eyes set on things far bigger than just a bowl game. Six wins is cool, but it is no longer good enough in this new era of Commodore football.

For Missouri, the Tigers are coming off their first road trip of the season as they squeaked out a 23-17 win in double overtime at Auburn to get their sixth win on the season. Both Auburn and Missouri had plenty of chances to win earlier in the game, but in the end it was a 25-yard touchdown drive that did it

Missori has one of, if not, the best running back in college football in Ahmad Hardy. Vanderbilt has its hands full this upcoming weekend but it should be ready and up to the task. Nashville will be one of the premier sites of the college football weekend for the second consecutive week.

Here is the television information for Vanderbilt’s game against LSU as well as the entire college football schedule for Week 9.
