As Utah State closes in on the mid-way point of the season (and its first bye in Week 6) it’ll travel to Tennessee to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. It’s a team that’s been on the wrong end of plenty of jokes for being a struggling SEC team that has rarely managed a winning record in the last decade or so. But the 2024 season provided some hope for Vandy as it tries to find a new path forward in a conference stacked with football powerhouses. For the Aggies, this game will be a chance to earn some sorely-needed credibility. A win over a power conference team sparked the eventual 2021 conference title-winning team. Perhaps this game will provide a similar boost if USU can pull off the road win. This is the in-depth preseason preview of Utah State’s fifth opponent of the season, the Vanderbilt Commodores.
