For the second straight season, Vanderbilt opened the football season with a commanding victory over the Blue Raiders from Murfreesboro. The 2018 version seemed like the negative of 2017 though. The game was 14-7 at halftime before cruising to a 35-7 win whereas last season saw a 21-0 halftime lead amble to the 28-6 road victory. The games were different in other ways that we will get to shortly. The 2017 season’s influence still has deterred me from being too demonstrative though, and more questions than answers remain.
A lot of the things to look for did get some answers.
