Vanderbilt’s 2021 Football Schedule Released

So now, finally, we know what Vanderbilt’s 2021 football schedule will look like.

The SEC announced the conference football schedule for next season in a live reveal on the SEC Network. We already knew the identities of Vanderbilt’s four nonconference opponents; now, the gaps have been filled in. Here is the full schedule (dates listed are Saturdays, and I’m just gonna assume all games will be on Saturday):

• Week 1 (September 4): East Tennessee State
• Week 2 (September 11); at Colorado State
• Week 3 (September 18): Stanford
• Week 4 (September 25): Georgia
• Week 5 (October 2): UConn
• Week 6 (October 9): at Florida
• Week 7 (October 16): at South Carolina
• Week 8 (October 23): Mississippi State
• Week 9 (October 30): Missouri
• Week 10 (November 6): BYE
• Week 11 (November 13): Kentucky
• Week 12 (November 20): at Ole Miss
• Week 13 (November 27): at Tennessee

It’s a bit rough to play nine straight weeks before the bye week, but that’s in the middle of a relatively easy stretch, with home games against Mississippi State, Missouri, and Kentucky.

I’ll have more thoughts later, but post yours in the comments.
