Chattanooga

Vanderbilt was looking for a sixth win and bowl eligible for the first time since 1974 and the first winning season since 1975. Vanderbilt was expected to run away with the game. However, the Moccasins had other plans. Vanderbilt and UTC were tied at ten going into the fourth quarter. Vandy took advantage of two fumbles by UTC recovered by defensive end Glenn Watson. Vandy kicked an onside kick. Vandy scored 17 points in a 2-minute, 34-second span. UTC plan to stop Vandy’s offence was to rush only two players, and the other nine to drop back or stop the run plays. Ricky Anderson's thirteenth and fourteenth field goals broke the Commodores single-season record held by Mark Adams in 1975.

Tennessee

The game was billed as the “Super Bowl of Tennessee” between Vanderbilt and Tennessee. Tickets were reportedly selling for $150.00 each. The game was a sellout; 41,683 fans and 3,800 watched on closed circuit TV. Both teams swapped the lead back and forth; neither team led by more than seven points.

The whole time the game was played it rained, drenching the field. The whole season Taylor took advantage of the short pass. Vanderbilt was able to throw the bomb that won the game. Taylor passed for two 42-yard passes for a touchdown. Whit Taylor made a 65-yard pass to Phil Roach to set up the game-winning one-yard run from Whit Taylor. The run was a quarterback keeper around the right end following a fake to Keith Edwards.
