Vanderbilt is one of the best at it; USC one of the worst

Vanderbilt doesn’t do a lot of things well. It’s the reason the Commodores are 0-4 in the SEC heading into Saturday’s game against South Carolina in Williams-Brice Stadium.

However, there is one thing the Gamecocks should be taking notes on and that’s whatever Vanderbilt is doing offensively in the red zone. The Commodores lead the SEC and are third in the nation in red zone touchdown percentage at 84.21 percent. They have made 19 trips inside the opponent’s 20-yard line and scored 16 times. All 16 of those have been touchdowns.

In comparison, South Carolina is last in the SEC and 121th in the nation in red zone touchdown percentage at 42.
