Vanderbilt vs Kentucky Game Preview

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

Well look at who wants to be a part of the NCAA Tournament fun.

It’s going to a minor miracle – like a win here, and then over Mississippi State, and then a deep run in the SEC Tournament just to get seriously in the discussion – but Vanderbilt has won six out of its last seven games.

Why? It’s a deep team that’s able to get production from a slew of spots, it’s making its threes, and it’s doing a great job of getting to the free throw line.

There might be a whole lot of flaws – there’s zero happening on the move because the defense does next to nothing to force takeaways – but it’s a team that finds ways to come up with that one key play on both ends to get by. But …

Why Kentucky Will Win

Well look at who wants to be a part of the NCAA Tournament fun.

The Wildcats woke up just in time with four straight wins to all but lock up a spot in the show. The scoring has improved, the extra passes are there to help improve the shooting percentage, and overall it’s playing like a team that knows the machine has turned on.

They beat Vandy the first time around helped by being +15 in rebounding margin, and they’re about to do it again. They’re crushing teams on the offensive boards lately, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Vanderbilt needs to hold its own on the boards to win. That’s not going to happen.

Neither defense forces a lot of mistakes, but Kentucky is much better on the move. At home, it’ll generate enough momentum to carry through a few second half lulls when the Commodore threes start to hit. It’ll be a rough landing, but UK will get there.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt Game Preview

Why Tennessee Will Win

Defense, defense, defense.

The nation’s No. 1 scoring D continues to be stifling, and now it’s rested with several days off after the 46-43 uggo of a win over Auburn.

Vanderbilt’s offense is – to be nice about it – inconsistent. It’s good on the glass and it hits from three, but if it’s not rocking from the outside there’s a big, big problem.

It managed to score 68 in the nine-point loss to the Vols the first time around, but the D doesn’t generate the mistakes needed for the O to capitalize on.

The Tennessee defense will clamp down for long stretches, but …

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

The Tennessee offense has hit a bit of a snag.

Struggling from the field against Auburn was one thing – that was a strange game – but that came off a disastrous offensive performance in a low at Florida the week before.

It might be just a blip, but it’s under 28% from the field over the last two games, the threes haven’t been there for a while, and Vanderbilt has to capitalize on all of it.

It should be a grind of a game, but Vandy is 4-1 when keeping teams under 39% from the field. It has come up with the second chance points on one end – it’s just that good on the offensive glass – and has to make every possession count on the other.

But ..

What’s Going To Happen

Tennessee is better at the fights in tough battles.

The offense will start doing a better job of moving things around, there won’t be the stagnation of the last few games, and the defense will ramp up the intensity against a Vanderbilt offense that should go dead cold for long stretches.

Vanderbilt Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Commodores miss from the SEC slate?

The Commodores get a week off before playing Ole Miss from the West followed up by a date with Auburn. That’s about as nice as it gets in the SEC.

That means they miss Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M. With all the games against the East still around, the conference schedule isn’t that bad going to Ole Miss kicks off a rough run of road games in three of the last four.

Vanderbilt Football Schedule What Really Matters

It’s not like going to South Carolina and Tennessee are far trips, but they’re still road games at the end of the season. That comes after getting Auburn and home and with the trip to Ole Miss. After dealing with Georgia on October 14th, there are just four games left.

Vanderbilt went to Hawaii to start last season, and this time around it gets the Rainbow Warriors in Nashville. That’s played in Week 0 which leaves a wonderful-timed week off in mid-November to gear up for the Vols.

Vanderbilt Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

Last year’s team was able to surprise a bit and be plucky down the stretch. It’s going to need to dominate the beginning of 2023 to have any prayer of being in the mix to go bowling.

There can’t be any misfires against Hawaii, Alabama A&M, and UNLV, and winning two of three against Wake Forest, Kentucky, and Missouri is a must. Do that, and there’s a shot coming up with a win over – say – Auburn to possibly get the call for an extra date.

Vanderbilt vs Alabama Game Preview

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

Can the Commodores outlast the Tide?

The starting five might not be anything amazing, but it’s a deep bunch can keep filtering in options to bomb away.

They don’t make a whole lot of mistakes and they are make things interesting if they get hot early on. To make this interesting, they have to come up with a least eight three-pointers.

That doesn’t guarantee anything with this bunch – the defense isn’t exactly a rock – but it came up with just six three in the first meeting and lost by 12 at home.

Alabama got run out of the gym by Oklahoma on Saturday – the Sooners hit everything from inside and out. Vanderbilt just has to hit from out, but …

Why Alabama Will Win

The Vanderbilt defense doesn’t generate enough pressure or force enough mistakes to make a difference. That’s not the real problem.

Yeah, Oklahoma went off on the Bama defense, but that’s not happening here. The Tide allowed more than six three-pointers just eight times and is 13-0 when it gives up fewer.

The Commodores aren’t going to keep up on the boards, they won’t have the firepower to hang around when the Tide O gets on the move, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Alabama won’t be in a good mood after that trip to Norman.

It’s unbeaten at home with a whole lot of ugly happening – 20+ point blowouts are the norm. Vanderbilt will do just enough from three for a stretch to keep this from being disastrous, but there won’t be much drama.

Why Tennessee Will Win

The Vol offense is still going to be explosive.

Everything went wrong in the blowout loss to South Carolina. The College Football Playoff dream is gone, and worse yet, star QB Hendon Hooker suffered a torn ACL.

Backup Joe Milton isn’t Hooker, but he has all the tools and skills to bomb away deep, and the running game is there to take over to keep the pressure off the new guy under center.

Tennessee is known for it’s high-flying fun show down the field, but it also ran for 200 yards or more six times – it’s 8-0 when it gets past 152 rushing yards.

Vanderbilt gives up 154 rushing yards per game, but …

Bowl Projections | Bowl Bubble: Who’s Bowl Eligible?

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

Can the Commodores really go bowling?

They managed to shock Kentucky and Florida over the last two weeks to make this for six wins and bowl eligibility. How?

The defense is giving up big plays, but not a slew of little ones – if that makes any sense.

Florida’s Anthony Richardson bombed away for 400 yards, but he only hit 58% of his throws and there wasn’t any running game. Kentucky’s passing attack didn’t do anything – Will Levis didn’t have any time – but the ground attack worked. Vanderbilt managed to win both games because of …

Completion percentage.

Vandy is 4-0 when teams hit fewer than 60% of their passes, and 1-6 when allowing more than that.

Joe Milton has a lot of positives. Being accurate isn’t one of them, but …

Week 13 College Football Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Can Tennessee pick itself up off the mat?

The running game will do most of the heavy lifting and the defense will be good enough. Vanderbilt will throw well, but it won’t take over on the ground like it’ll need to.

It’ll make this interesting, but there will be just enough explosion from the Vols to get out alive.

How To Watch: CBS
Record: Georgia (10-0), Kentucky (6-4)
Sign up and live stream college football on ESPN+

Why Georgia Will Win

This thing is leaking oil.

Kentucky was 4-0 and rolling along, but QB Will Levis got banged up and hasn’t been totally right ever since, there have been too many turnovers, and the running game has been wildly inconsistent.

Not to school shame, but things aren’t going well when you’re losing at home to Vanderbilt.

Georgia has the East wrapped up, and all that really matters is staying healthy and getting to the SEC Championship, but it should be able to pound away on the ground, rely on the defense, and keep things conservative enough to slip on by.

Of course, Georgia will want to connect on the big plays early, too.

Tennessee put Kentucky away immediately with a few big throws, Vanderbilt ran for 264 yards last week, and everyone who came up with more than 330 yards of total offense has won.

UK is 0-4 when allowing more, and 6-0 when allowing fewer.

Georgia has yet to come up with fewer than 387, and was only under 460 once – that was the win over Tennessee.

Bowl Projections

Why Kentucky Will Win

Georgia hasn’t exactly been air tight.

The offense moves when it has to, the defense bails everyone out when mistakes are made, but the seven turnovers in the last three games are too many.

As always, Kentucky has to control the game with its style. When teams don’t come up with big yards against this D it’s because they don’t have the ball enough and don’t run enough plays.

Georgia might be able to hit the big shots, but can it get moving if it only runs 60 plays instead of 75 or so? Kentucky should keep the offense on the field for about 34 minutes or so, but …

Schedules, Predictions CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

The Kentucky offensive line isn’t playing well enough.

The defensive front isn’t getting into the backfield – it’s not going to bother Stetson Bennett – and the running game isn’t getting going against this bunch.

Georgia will connect on two big plays and be methodical the rest of the way. The good Wildcat skill players won’t get enough time to work.

Why Florida Will Win

Very, very, very quietly, Florida hasn’t been bad.

Georgia and Tennessee sucked all the oxygen out of the SEC East room, but the Gators are putting together a nice first season under Billy Napier. The emphatic road win over Texas A&M was nice, but the performance against South Carolina in a 38-6 win might have been the best of the year considering the opponent.

What’s going so right? The running game that led Louisiana to greatness under Napier’s watch is ripping through everyone but the Dawgs and Vols averaging 225 yards per game.

QB Anthony Richardson and backs Montrell Johnson and Trevor Etienne are rolling with close to 700 rushing yards over the last two weeks.

The Vanderbilt run defense is having a few issues. South Carolina and Kentucky both ran for over 200 yards in the last two weeks, and …

Bowl Projections

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

Vanderbilt is running well, too.

Senior RB Ray Davis has taken up over with two straight huge games to be a steadying force for the attack, QB Mike Wright hit Kentucky for 126 yards, and it all could work against the Gator D.

Florida’s defense was fantastic against South Carolina, but it’s having a rough time on third downs, the pass rush is lacking, and the the run defense hasn’t been consistent enough.

The Commodores should be able to keep up the pace.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Vanderbilt really keep bowl hopes alive?

The regular season finale against Tennessee might put a hard stop to any hopes. That, and the Florida running game.

To overcome the issues on defense and a wildly inconsistent passing game, it’s all about the big yards on the ground. Florida is 6-0 when running for more than 210 yards and 0-4 when it doesn’t.

Vanderbilt has only allowed more than 210 yards twice and neither one was at home. Florida will come up with a big enough running day to get by, but it’ll be in for a battle.
