Vanderbilt’s defense smothered MTSU, but then last year’s defense did the same thing.

Vanderbilt’s defense held MTSU to seven points on Saturday. Are you impressed, or do you want to see more?

DoreonthePlains: I need to see more. Our defense was not quite as dominant as last year. A defense’s DBs are really stressed by the short, quick passing attack that MTSU employs, so it is understandable that a host of new contributors was taxed a bit. Even more youth was brought into action when Wiley was ejected for targeting. With Zaire Jones suspended about a week before the opening game, Tarver was down his two presumed starters at safety for much of the game.
