12+ hour, 33+ min ago (401+ words) If there were ever a year for a longshot to win the Heisman Trophy, it would be this one. There hasn't been an obvious, dominant force in college football all season, which for many has opened the door for Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia to keep his name in the running. Pavia led Vanderbilt on a 9-2 start that included their highest ranking in generations when they hit No. 9 earlier this season. As it stands, he's leading the team on a late lead over Tennessee and has been stellar for most of the day. Outside of two interceptions, Pavia has been downright sensational, throwing for over 250 yards and a touchdown while adding over 150 yards and another touchdown on the ground. In the third quarter, he scored a 24-yard touchdown run that extended the Commodores' lead to double digits. After scoring his touchdown,…...

12+ hour, 38+ min ago (153+ words) The Tennessee Volunteers have had the best college football team in the state for decades. As Saturday's game at Neyland Stadium demonstrated, that torch has now been taken by Diego Pavia and the Vanderbilt Commodores. Let's dive into the winners and losers from Vanderbilt vs Tennessee, with the Volunteers getting embarrassed at home on Saturday night by the Commodores. Diego Pavia feasted on a defense that seemingly had no understanding of what he was capable of. The senior quarterback decimated Tennessee's defense on Saturday night, sending the home crowd at Neyland Stadium home early after witnessing him put up over 400 total yards of offense. Mind you, this is after he gifted Tennessee a pair of first-half interceptions. LIVE WWE Survivor Series Results & Highlights: Who Will Survive War Games?

21+ hour, 38+ min ago (232+ words) The Tennessee Vols ended the 2025 regular season on a sour note. Tennessee fell 45-24 to the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday evening in Neyland Stadium. It's the Vols' first loss to the Commodores since 2018. Shortly after the game, Vols junior linebacker Jeremiah Telander met with reporters and he left no doubt how he felt about the loss to the Commodores. "You've got to keep this taste in your mouth," said Telander. "Man, freaking sending out the seniors that way is just unacceptable. And every single guy on this team that has more years to play here is going to remember that taste in their mouth. And we got to get to work -- starting freaking tomorrow." Telander sounded motivated and angry. This loss to Vanderbilt isn't something that will be glossed over this offseason in Tennessee's locker room. Fans are understandably upset -- the…...

3+ day, 8+ hour ago (359+ words) This weekend's matchup between the Vanderbilt Commodores and the Tennessee Vols is receiving some national hype because Vandy has a potential spot in the College Football Playoff on the line. Vanderbilt's postseason outlook combined with the offseason trash talk from Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia will make Saturday's game in in Neyland Stadium extra spicy. The players who have played in this rivalry, though, will tell you this game is always chippy -- regardless of either team's record. Sometimes, according to former Vols defensive lineman Marlon Walls, that would lead to dirty play from Vanderbilt's players. Walls, who suited up for the Vols from 2009 to 2013, recounted his experiences of playing against the Commodores during an appearance this week on The Sports Source. "You'd be happy, man, just to get out of that game healthy with some of the stuff they would do,…...

3+ day, 10+ hour ago (210+ words) Kentucky (5-2) improved to 5-0 at home and reached the 100-point plateau for the second time this season without starters Jaland Lowe (shoulder) and Mouhamed Dioubate (ankle). The Wildcats missed 10 of their first 11 3-point attempts, but still finished with a season-high 15 3-pointers, making 12 in the second half. Oweh and Aderdeen each scored 12 points in the second half and led five players in double figures. Noah came off the bench and scored 10 points in the first half. He helped the Wildcats overcome a slow start by outscoring the Golden Eagles 20-3 in the final seven minutes of the first half to put the game out of reach. Collin Chandler added 14 points and Malachi Moreno had a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds for Kentucky. Tennessee Tech coach John Pelphrey played at Kentucky from 1988-92, appeared in 114 games and averaged 11 points. Pelphrey is in his seventh season…...

4+ day, 19+ hour ago (281+ words) Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia has a good friend that plays for the Tennessee Vols, but he doesn't plan on speaking to him this week. Tennessee and Vanderbilt are set to play in Knoxville on Saturday afternoon. Pavia, who transferred from New Mexico State to Vanderbilt ahead of the 2024 season, is former teammates with Vols running back Star Thomas (Thomas played with Pavia at New Mexico State in 2022 and 2023). The Vanderbilt quarterback joined Hot Mic this week and he was asked if he'll speak with Thomas ahead of the game. Thomas came up when Pavia was asked about Vols quarterback Joey Aguilar. "I don't know [Aguilar] too well," said Pavia. "I mean, he's obviously leading Tennessee to a pretty good season. So props to him. I heard he's a good kid, too. My friend Star Thomas is over there, so…...

6+ day, 2+ hour ago (1125+ words) Scott Daughtry found a name. The Tennessee basketball director of strategy took it to assistant coach Gregg Polinsky, who was headed on the summer circuit recruiting. "He said, 'He really rates out well on my analytical model,' " Polinsky recalled. Polinsky had his plan for the Kansas City Midwest Basketball Showcase in June with teams and players to watch. The name Daughtry brought was new " it wasn't a player many schools were recruiting but his data indicated should be sought after as a high-major prospect. Polinsky watched the recruit and was impressed, Daughtry's tip proving correct as the analytics side blended with the reality on the Vols' hunt for players in the summer. "We are just trying to be as much like an NBA front office as we can in the new world of college athletics front offices," Daughtry said. Daughtry…...

6+ day, 3+ hour ago (240+ words) College football fans in the Volunteer state are in for a treat this weekend as the 9-2 Vanderbilt Commodores are set to travel to Knoxville to take on the 8-3 Tennessee Vols. Vanderbilt is looking to earn a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff. Tennessee, however, is hoping to crush the Commodores' playoff dreams in Neyland Stadium on Saturday afternoon. A week ago, former Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops picked Florida to beat Tennessee in the Swamp. The Vols ended up turning in a dominant performance in a 31-11 win over the Gators in Gainesville. Tennessee's strong showing against Florida has Stoops feeling confident that the Volunteers will take down the Commodores on Saturday. "I'm gonna go with Tennessee just to beat them by more than that (Vols are favored by 2.5 points)," said Stoops. "They proved me wrong (last weekend). I…...

6+ day, 10+ hour ago (508+ words) The Tennessee Titans continue to show growth under interim head coach Mike McCoy, and while their efforts continue to come up short, the improvements are noticeable. That was the case in a 30-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. Rookie Cam Ward again led a second-half comeback that fell short in one of his best games of the season, and his young receivers stepped up and made plays. Unfortunately, he received no support from the running game and, again, there were too many penalties, which contributed to the second-half deficit. Unlike in past weeks, the Titans' defense was invisible for most of the contest and didn't come to life until the fourth quarter. Tennessee had no answer for Seattle's explosive receiving corps, specifically Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who torched the Titans all afternoon. Much of that can be attributed to a complete…...
