Middle Tennessee at Vanderbilt
The Blue Raiders and Commodores meet for the 19th time Saturday, with Vanderbilt holding a 15-3 all-time lead in the series.
This will be the 4th consecutive season that the teams have met, with Vandy on a 3 game winning streak in the current run. Vanderbilt won last season, 28-6, in 2016, 47-24, and in 2015 17-13.
Prior to the current 3 game win streak for the Commodores, Middle Tennessee had been on a 3 game win streak of their own in the series, as they won games in 2001, 2002, and 2005. Those were the only 3 Blue Raiders wins against Vanderbilt all-time.
The series dates back to 1915, a 51-0 Vanderbilt win that started a streak of 12 straight wins from 1915 through 1956. The sides would not meet after 1956 until they restarted the series in 2001.
