Vanderbilt will be without star running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn when it takes on the University of Kentucky on Saturday.

The Tennessean reported that Vaughn, who leads Vanderbilt with 495 rushing yards and six TDs (five rushing, one receiving), has not been not medically cleared since being injured during the Commodores’ game against Florida last week.

Vanderbilt is last in the Southeastern Conference in rushing offense at 151.6 yards per game.
