No. 10 Vanderbilt clashes with No. 15 Missouri this Saturday, and CBS Sports analysts Aaron Taylor and Rick Neuheisel are rolling with the Commodores to come out as the winners.
Taylor highlighted how Missouri’s run game has been trending in the wrong direction in its last couple of games. Running back Ahmad Hardy had season lows in the Tigers’ past 2 games, not even cracking 60 total rushing yards.

“Missouri’s offensive line struggles. There are free runners at times, and because of that, Rick, that defense of Vandy, I think, can nullify it [Mizzou running game],” Taylor said.
Neuheisel highlighted the Vanderbilt offense as one of the reasons he is going with Vanderbilt to get the win.
“And I, having lived through the pistol as a coach, I know this thing is effective, and Diego, at 24 years old, is a master of it,” Neuheisel said.
Vanderbilt will be looking for its second straight ranked victory after a win over LSU last weekend, while Missouri is in search of its first ranked win of the season. Both of these teams are 6-1 overall and 2-1 in SEC play.
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday in Nashville.
