In Nashville's FirstBank Stadium, the Vanderbilt Commodores football team hosted the Auburn Tigers in a contest that saw both teams eager to improve their season records. Despite a valiant effort by the home side, it was the Tigers who emerged victorious with a scoreline that reflected their dominance on offense throughout much of the game.

The Commodores' offensive unit had moments of effectiveness but struggled to maintain consistency against a tough Tiger defense. The passing game managed to accumulate 166 yards through the air including one touchdown pass that went for 30 yards – this being their longest completion and also their only passing touchdown during this encounter. The quarterback ended up with an overall rating of just over 100 and completed roughly half his passes (53 percent). However, he was also under significant pressure throughout as evidenced by five sacks conceded for lost yardage totaling 37.

On ground attack front, Vanderbilt's rushing efforts yielded exactly 100 yards from thirty attempts which translates to an average gain per carry of about three yards. Their longest rush went for an impressive distance of thirty-four yards although they were unable to find paydirt via running plays during this matchup.

Special teams had mixed results; while punting averaged close to forty-five yards across eight attempts and managed two kicks inside opponent's twenty-yard line, field goal attempts were less successful with no conversions from one attempt which came from beyond forty-nine yards out.

Defensively speaking, there were some bright spots for Vanderbilt as they recorded two sacks and six tackles for loss while limiting penalty yardage against them to thirty-six from four infractions. They also notched an interception return touchdown covering five yards which provided one of their scoring highlights on what proved otherwise challenging day defensively as they tried containing Auburn's potent offense.
