Today’s college football slate features the No. 16 ranked Vanderbilt Commodores facing off against the Auburn Tigers in this highly anticipated Week 11 SEC contest.

Auburn (4-5, 1-5) lost 10-3 to Kentucky on Nov. 1, and Hugh Freeze was fired the next day. Durkin, Auburn's defensive coordinator, will make his interim coaching debut in Nashville.

An exchange with departed head coach Hugh Freeze built up a desire in the Vanderbilt star to beat the Auburn Tigers

Gold Coast Suns senior coach Damien Hardwick said he's sees a lot of similarities between Vanderbilt football and his team.

No, I don’t know why this is scheduled for the same time as the football game, either. Do better, ESPN. Anyway, dueling game threads!

Unlike teams like Missouri and Kentucky, Vanderbilt’s offense is run directly through its quarterback: Diego Pavia. The 24-year-old has had Auburn’s number for two straight years now, whether at New Mexico State or with the Commodores, and DJ Durkin’s defense will have to work overtime to keep Pavia’s production on the charts.

A college football head coach reportedly let Auburn know about his interest in taking the job if they fired Hugh Freeze.
