AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Eli Stowers caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Diego Pavia with 4:18 left and Vanderbilt became bowl eligible for the first time since 2018 with a 17-7 win over Auburn. The Commodores locked up another win in their surprising season with a 14-play, 78-yard drive that consumed 8 minutes, 53 seconds. It was kept alive when Keldric Faulk was penalized for leverage while trying to block a field goal by Brock Taylor, setting up first down at the 4. The Tigers fell one loss away from their fourth straight losing season.
