Vanderbilt Commodores Seek Rebound Win Against Struggling Auburn Tigers
9 Nov
Summary
- Vanderbilt (7-2, 3-2 SEC) hosts Auburn (4-5, 1-5) on Nov. 8
- Commodores attempt comeback but fall short against Texas last week
- Auburn's interim coach Durkin makes debut after Hugh Freeze's firing

On November 8th, 2025, the Vanderbilt Commodores (7-2, 3-2 SEC) will host the Auburn Tigers (4-5, 1-5) in a key SEC matchup. The Commodores are looking to bounce back after a narrow defeat against Texas last week, which saw them tumble down the rankings.
Meanwhile, Auburn is in turmoil, having lost 10-3 to Kentucky on November 1st. The very next day, head coach Hugh Freeze was fired, and defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin will make his interim coaching debut in Nashville.
The Commodores, led by quarterback Diego Pavia, will aim to stay in the hunt for a College Football Playoff berth with a win over the struggling Tigers. Vanderbilt has struggled against teams with strong run defenses this season, but Auburn's offense has been ineffective, so the Commodores should be able to secure a victory if they can score enough points.
