This week's Q&A puts behind the head coach drama to focus on the Gamecocks upcoming opponent, the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Many thanks to Christian for this ever informative Q&A. Enjoy folks!
1. With Derek Mason in his second year as head coach, what kind of strides have you seen thus far for this team from last year? At this point, do you think he's the right man for the job to build consistency in the SEC?
Mason's biggest advancement for 2015 has been the performance of his defense. He was sold as a defensive mastermind after consistently shutting down Oregon in his three years as DC (or co-DC) at Stanford, but his first season in Nashville was a disappointment.
