The Auburn Tigers welcome the Vanderbilt Commodores to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday afternoon for a 3:15 p.m. CT kickoff. The game will be broadcast live on SEC Network.
ESPN announced this week that Taylor Zarzour (play-by-play), Matt Stinchcomb (color analyst), and Michella Chester (sideline reporter) will call the game from Jordan-Hare Stadium on SEC Network. The usual radio broadcast crew of Andy Burcham, Jason Campbell, and Ronnie Brown will call the game on the Auburn Sports Network, with live coverage beginning three hours before kickoff on your local Auburn Sports Network affiliate.
Auburn football enters the game with a 2-1 record after dropping its first game of the season last week to Florida. The Tigers hold key wins over Baylor and Southern Miss. The Tigers are led offensively by quarterback Byrum Brown, who has gained 936 yards through three games and has scored seven touchdowns. His top targets are fellow USF transfers Keshaun Singleton and Chas Nimrod, who have logged 17 catches each for a combined 418 yards. Defensively, linebacker Elijah Melendez leads the team in tackles with 29 and is tied with fellow linebacker Xavier Atkins atop the team’s sack leaderboard with two.
Vanderbilt is 3-0 and will face its first SEC test of the season on Saturday in Auburn. Last week, Vanderbilt stunned NC State by recovering a fumble in the endzone as time expired in the 4th quarter to steal a 35-31 win. The Commodores were down 24-7 with just over seven minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter before storming back to take the win. Five-star freshman Jared Curtis will make his second start of the season on Saturday and will look to build on the hot start that has seen him pass for 517 yards over three games.
The kickoff between the Auburn Tigers and the Vanderbilt Commodores is set for 3:15 p.m. CT on SEC Network.
