On this week’s episode of the Hustler Sports 30, Simon Gibbs, Alyssa Muir, Betsy Goodfriend and Justin Hershey discuss an apparent COVID-19 outbreak in the SEC, which led to four games being cancelled. Vanderbilt football’s game appears safe—at least, for now—so the hosts break down the Commodores’ latest loss and preview their matchup against Kentucky. Finally, they move on to Vanderbilt soccer, the first Vanderbilt program to head to the postseason in the fall of 2020.

13:38 — What’s next for Vanderbilt football as they head to Kentucky? Can the Commodores return to Nashville with their first win of the season?
20:42 — Heading into a first-round SEC Tournament matchup against Mississippi State, do you think Vanderbilt soccer can make some noise in Orange Beach?
