Instead of a cupcake FCS game in Week 11, like many in the SEC have scheduled, Tennessee will take on a legitimate group of five opponent in the Troy Trojans.

Troy has picked up road victories over LSU and Nebraska within the past four years and are a yearly bowl contender.

The Trojans will surely give the Vols all they can handle, but with the game in Knoxville and Tennessee looking to rebound after what will likely be a tough week in Athens against Georgia, this seems like a chance for them to pick up a feel-good win.

Final Score: Tennessee 35, Troy 24 (7-4, 4-4)

Nashville (Tenn.). Vanderbilt Commodores. player. 887. Pick Analysis. Nov. 28. 12. Scouting Report

Last season Tennessee snapped an embarrassing three-year losing streak to their in-state rival Vanderbilt with a home win in Knoxville.

In 2020, the Vols will look to win in Nashville for the first time since 2014 when they took down the Commodores 24-17.

They should be able to just that as a Vanderbilt squad that went just 3-9 a year ago is even weaker on paper entering 2020 with much of their offensive production gone and a mediocre defense.

Final Score: Tennessee 30, Vanderbilt 14 (8-4, 5-3)
