Vanderbilt Pregame line: Tennessee by 11.5 Tennessee fought back from a 15-point deficit in the 4th quarter to beat their in-state rivals by the score of 25–24. The issue was still to be decided with less than a minute in the game, when Vanderbilt kicker Bryant Hahnfeldt's 49-yard field goal attempt grazed the left upright and went wide left. Tennessee started well on its opening drive, moving 75 yards on 9 plays. The Drive culminated with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Erik Ainge to Lucas Taylor. The extra point, however, was blocked, giving Tennessee a 6–0 lead. Vanderbilt answered the score and then took the lead midway through the second quarter.

However, Vanderbilt scored twice in the final minute of the half, first with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Adams to Jeff Jennings, and then with 33-yard field goal by Hahnfeldt. The field goal had followed a fumble by Tennessee on a lateral pass from Ainge to Foster shortly before halftime. Vanderbilt extended its lead after halftime to 24–9 by moving down the field on an 11-play, 75-yard drive that consumed 5:54 of the game clock.

The Vol Defense held Vanderbilt to two "three and out" possessions after the Briscoe touchdown. Tennessee retook possession and drove 83 yards in less than 3 minutes, scoring a touchdown when Ainge found Austin Rogers in the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown pass. The Two-point conversion failed, and Tennessee still trailed. The
