The Commodores are the SEC’s hottest team, but they can’t lose focus with Bama up next. Here’s the Vanderbilt vs Utah State preview, prediction, and betting line.
Okay, maybe Vanderbilt isn’t the best team in the SEC at the moment, but with four blowout wins in four games, and not all of them against lightweights, the team is rolling.
The Commodores have outscored their opponents 190 to 51, and that’s with blowouts over South Carolina and Virginia Tech. This is the last breather, though, with a trip to Alabama up next, and then LSU, Missouri, and at Texas.
But Utah State could be a problem.
It wasn’t horrible in a 44-22 loss to Texas A&M, and it’s 3-1 thanks to a strong win over Air Force, but there’s a ton of traveling to do.
After going to Nashville, the Aggies get a week off to get out to Hawaii as part of a run of three road games in four dates.

Why Utah State Will Win
Again with the focus.
Vanderbilt started hot last year, and then couldn’t seem to do anything right in a shocking loss to a bad Georgia State squad. And again, the SEC season rolls on with Alabama up next.
For all of the good things Vandy does, it commits a ton of penalties, and the secondary has given up a few too many yards over the last few weeks – to be fair, Georgia State kept throwing to keep up.
Former Utah Utes will keep throwing. He’s been deadly accurate lately, the Aggies are among the best in the nation in passing efficiency, and …
Why Vanderbilt Will Win
The Commodores have been close to flawless so far.
There was a problem running against South Carolina, but it was a 31-7 SEC road win, so who cares? Thanks to another wonderful season from Diego Pavia, they’re running well, throwing better, and everything keeps moving.

The offensive line. has been fantastic so far. Pavia’s decision-making and mobility help, but the front five have taken over games. The defensive side is great at getting into the backfield, and …
Vanderbilt Will Beat Utah State on the Lines
The Aggie lines have been solid so far in most areas, but the pass protection has occasionally been a bit of an issue.
The run D couldn’t hold up against Texas A&M or Air Force, and Vanderbilt will start grinding early on. On the other side, the steady pass rush should take over in key moments against a line that’s allowing four sacks per game.
