Think Vandy would open as an underdog vs Baylor, essentially in a road game at Texas Bowl?

Very excited for Vanderbilt’s Texas Bowl invite. First time in school history it will play in a bowl game more than 600 miles away from Nashville, will play a Big 12 team and NRG is an impressive facility, so this will feel like a true bowl event/experience to the fans/alumni.
