C.J. Duncan (19) gives a thumbs up while playing against the South Carolina Gamecocks at Vanderbilt Stadium on September 1, 2016.
“I look for major improvement — in quarterback play, wide receiver play and offensive line play — from Week 1 to Week 2," offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig said after a team practice on Wednesday. "During the course of my career, you see the largest gains in performance in that week. Obviously, we are counting on that with this upcoming opponent."
One highly criticized decision during the opening game was playing Wade Freebeck at quarterback over Kyle Shurmur for two series in the first half, despite the fact that Shurmur has been touted as the clear-cut starter and did not throw a single interception in the game.
