N0. 22 VANDERBILT AT NO. 10 GEORGIA (MINUS 15)

Georgia (5-1) leads the series 48-18-2. The Bulldogs are 24-4 against Vanderbilt (5-1) in Sanford stadium, but the Commodores won 24-22 the last time they played in Athens in 2006.

This will be a week of change for Vanderbilt. Junior Mackenzi Adams is replacing starting quarterback Chris Nickson. Nickson should have seen the change coming, as the Commodores, under his command, are ranked 116th in the nation in passing offense. Vanderbilt is also ranked last in the SEC and 106th in the nation in passing efficiency.

The other change for Vandy comes in the win/loss column. Last week Mississippi State defeated the Commodores 17-14 for their first loss of the season.

Homecoming has been a welcome tradition at Georgia. The Bulldogs are 67-17-2 in Homecoming games and are 17-3 against Vanderbilt in such games. The Georgia Alumni will celebrate another Homecoming victory against Vanderbilt.

Georgia 28, Vanderbilt 17
