While Vanderbilt hoped to upset Tennessee and shake up the College Football Playoff picture, Tennessee dominated with a 29-point scoring streak, leaving Vanderbilt with just a late fourth-quarter touchdown. The game started with Vanderbilt leading 14-0 but Tennessee's superior performance turned the tide.
While the Commodores have been upset-minded all year long and the Volunteers haven't played their best football in conference play, it has not been a secret that Tennessee has owned Vanderbilt during the Clark Lea era.and a better coaching staff in place, Vanderbilt was confident they would be able to pull off the upset and potentially shake things up when it comes to the College Football Playoff picture.
Tennessee got things rolling by scoring 29 consecutive points, forcing an interception, a turnover on downs, three punts and a safety before Vanderbilt got back into the end zone late in the fourth quarter.They had tons of momentum during the beginning of the game, but the talent gap that has been present between these two programs showed up once again as Tennessee was able to just dominate their in-state rivals like they have for the past five games.
Sedrick Alexander was able to produce 60 yards on the ground with a touchdown in 17 attempts, but it was hard for him to get anything going consistently with just 3.5 yards per carry.
