Preview

WHAT’S AT STAKE

It’s pretty simple: The winner climbs out of the SEC basement. Vanderbilt has allowed at least 50 points to each of its first three conference opponents, though to be fair, that consists of top-ranked Georgia (55-0), No. 6 Alabama (55-3) and No. 7 Ole Miss (52-28). The Tigers have taken their three SEC games down to the wire, losing at Auburn (17-14), to the Bulldogs (26-22) and at Florida (24-17). If a few breaks went its way, Missouri could easily be 3-0 instead of 0-3. Vanderbilt has lost 24 consecutive conference games. Its last win came in October 2019 when it beat the Tigers 21-14 in Nashville, Tennessee.

KEY MATCHUP

Vanderbilt RB Ray Davis against the Missouri defense. The Commodores haven’t been able to slow down anyone this season, allowing 493.7 yards per game to rank 128th out of 130 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. So their best chance to slow down the Tigers could be keeping the ball away from them. Davis is fifth in the SEC with 536 yards rushing, and he’s averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Vanderbilt would be wise to ride him in an effort to shorten the game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Vanderbilt: WR Will Sheppard has 39 catches for 497 yards and four touchdowns, and that was after Georgia held him to three catches for 45 yards last week. He caught nine passes for 87 yards and a score against Ole Miss.

Missouri: WR Dominic Lovett is third in the SEC with 499 yards receiving, a mere 2 yards ahead of Sheppard, and has been the best big-play threat the Tigers have on offense. He’s been banged up recently, but he’s averaging 16.1 yards per catch, and he gives Tigers QB Brady Cook his most reliable passing target.
