Tennessee will look to finish with ten regular season wins for the first time since 2003 on Saturday when they close out the 2022 season in Nashville.

The Vols (9-2, 5-2 SEC) end the regular-season schedule at Vanderbilt (5-6, 2-5) with a 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time kickoff at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. The game will be televised by SEC Network.

Tennessee on Monday dropped four spots in the Associated Press Top 25and six spots in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

On Tuesday they found out there with 10th in the latest college football playoff rankings. The Vols need a win to remain in the mix for a New Years Six bowl appearance that could leave the Vols in Dallas or Miami.

If that doesn’t happen, then it’s likely a trip to the VRBO Citrus Bowl for the first time since 2001.

Injury bug bites Vols in loss at South Carolina

Hendon Hooker completed 25 of 42 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns, running five times for 25 more yards, but left the game in the fourth quarter with a left leg, non-contact injury. Joe Milton III replaced Milton, completing 4 of 8 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown.

Milton will be the guy against the Commodores in what is set up to be a massive game for both sides. Vandy is looking to become Bowl eligible with a win after beating Kentucky and Florida the last two weeks.

The crew from Volquest discuss it all in this week’s Rocky Top Roundtable.
