The Commodores gave Auburn more of a game than many thought they would and had a chance to win but they came up just short.

Vanderbilt’s defense showed up once again, and the Commodore offense was there when it needed to be until the end of the game. Vanderbilt seems to be improving at the end of the season and gave one of the better teams in the conference a game, when most would have expected Vanderbilt to be blown out. With the way that the Commodores are playing, its not out of the picture for them to still find two more wins this season to be able to get to a bowl game for the first time since the 2013 season.

Next game: November 12, at Missouri, 3:30pm ET SEC Network
