Half-Dozen Hyperspecific Predictions about…Vanderbilt

My computer rolled up and disappeared on me. It’s back now. And while I am not want to hustle too many list posts on you on a regular basis. But in lieu of a preview post? I will steal a conference gimmick from Doctor Saturday and give 6 Hyper specific predictions for each team.

We’ll start simple. We’ll start with the bottom of the pack last season. The Vanderbilt Commodores.

Last year they went 2-10 and 0-8 in the SEC. This year?

1) Robbie Caldwell’s folksiest quote will be dropped in the post game press conference after the November 6th game versus Florida. At this point? Vanderbilt will be 1-9 and have suffered 3 consecutive blowout losses and nearly beat South Carolina again.

2) Chris Marve will improve his team leading tackle total. By 40. He’s going to be the lone defensive force of the Commodores. And as such? 14 tackles a game.

3) The running game of the Commodores will get off to a slow start. 4 starters need to be replaced, and the one good aspect of the offense from last year will not allow them to stay in games early on.

4) Jordan Rodgers will be starting by October. It will lead them to a win. I’ll give him entirely too much credit for it.

5) Udom Udoh will be the leading receiving threat, such as it is. And it will explode upon the October entrance of Jordan Rodgers and the fact that this is going to be a long year.

6) There will be no win in the SEC for Vanderbilt. They will get a win. But it’s going to be 1-11 and 0-8 for Vandy at this point.
