Kentucky vs Vanderbilt Game Preview
Why Vanderbilt Will Win
The Commodores aren’t playing that poorly.
They have yet to win an SEC game, and they’re on a five-game losing streak, but the offensive line has been okay, there aren’t a slew of big mistakes – four turnovers against South Carolina aside – and being able to control the clock and avoid screwing up might be enough to hang around with Kentucky.
