Vanderbilt season preview: Bowl bid definitely within reach this season

Third-year coach Derek Mason is raising expectations for Vanderbilt. “It’s not about competing anymore. It’s about winning,” he said at SEC Media Days.

Vanderbilt hasn’t done much of that of late. The Commodores are 7-17 overall and 2-14 in SEC play under Mason. But the defense made big strides last season, which helped Vandy win two league games. This season, it’s about improving an offense that has averaged just 16.2 points and 307.4 yards per game in Mason’s two seasons.

Ralph Webb
Ralph Webb ran for 1,000 yards last season, and has a good chance to become the school’s leading career rusher this season.
