Vanderbilt went into its season opener on Saturday night as a 30.5-point underdog (or something around there, depending on whom you asked) and ended the game a 17-12 loser in College Station. That Vanderbilt still lost the game means that, well, 0-10 is still on the table. But that the score was so close means we might need to reconsider our expectations for this team.
So, let’s talk about it.
I feel like I’m going to compare this team to the 2015 edition of Vanderbilt football a lot because really, the contours of the two squads are quite similar.
