As I’ve been taking my paternity-imposed break away from blogging, I still was able to watch the Kentucky game yesterday, which Vanderbilt lost by a 38-35 score.
In some years past, I would have been feeling positive about the direction of the football program after the last couple of games. With a true freshman quarterback and a patchwork offensive line, Vanderbilt managed to put up 478 yards of total offense at Mississippi State, followed by 407 at Kentucky on Saturday. But that’s not the feeling in the Vanderbilt fan base right now and it won’t be as the team heads to a likely 0-10 season, with assistance from the SEC office in removing the nonconference schedule and forcing Vanderbilt to play ten in a row against SEC teams; but, had the nonconference schedule played out, Vanderbilt would be looking at 3-9 at best and possibly even 2-10 what with Louisiana Tech and Colorado State not being gimmes.
