And not in a good way. Dude is dumpster juice. Please send his ass back to Charlottesville. He made literally zero adjustments during the game. Fire his ass now.

Always flip on Wyoming when they are playing. Love their color scheme and logo.

Facilities are super nice, continues to put into perspective how far behind we are.

Tennessee took 23 seconds to go up 7-0 on Ball State.

Missouri and Louisiana Tech tonight at 7 Central also.

Why is it, no matter who the Head Coach is or who the defensive coordinator is, or who the players are Vanderbilt defense makes an average to below average quarterback look like an all-American? How many times has a fourth sting QB come off the party deck at the fraternity house and lead his team to victory over us? Elon’s QB duo picked us apart and they will be an average to below average team in the Colonial Athletic Association. It is so frustrating to watch it happen over and over, year after year. Thank goodness they made some boneheaded play calls at the end of the game to give us the victory.

Great- the Oline looked on the same page. I can’t recall one noticeable miscommunication. Hawaii never looked dominate, and rarely won individual match ups. Can you say that at any point last year? I don’t think so. That’s major progress.

Good- The linebackers/ back 7 filled gaps fairly consistently. At no point last year could you say that. They played with some anger and got some big hits on the ball carriers.

Concerning- when Hawaii was fresh and able to be balanced, they won a lot of battles in the trenches against the DL. The DL did not look good the first 20 mins of the game.

Great- R Davis looked as advertised. He was explosive with his movements and if I was a new fan I would have no idea he had a foot injury last year. Very good news.

Good- The freshmen were impactful on special teams. And that is what we need so starters don’t have to waste energy because of horrible depth. Langston Patterson had two tackles I believe. One I know was solo.

concerning- The secondary playing 12 yards off the WRs. Derek Mason shed a tear last night watching the alignment, and seeing it work at times. But Lordy do I hate it. I know giving up the big play is the major concern but getting popped for 5-7 yards a play drives me insane.

Great- Turnovers and sacks. Sure it’s a bad team but Vandy played bad teams last year and outside of the occasional interception, there wasn’t much excitement on defense. The fact that two of the turnovers were simply caused by monster hits is the type of energy this team needs. Any kind of pressure on the QB is an improvement over last year. No matter the opponent.

Good- Vanderbilts version of the military academy offense worked. Wright kept the defense on their heels, and allowed the sideline to sideline plays to open up. Will this work against better teams? If Wright can average 4-5 yards a run, I think it will. His speed is a concern. And if it works against lower tier SeC teams and the remaining NonCon teams, it’s a successful offense. It’s a military academy type offense. There is no denying it. You run a lot to set up a chunk play pass. It worked one time last night with Wright using the Jet sweep to set up a wide open TE “deep” ball. It wasn’t a pretty throw, but it got there.

concerning- 3rd and 4th down play calling. It was rough. Particularly 4th down. 5-11 on 3rd and 1-5 on 4th. But the early 4th down attempts were atrocious. I’m not sure what Lynch was trying to do but he needs to spend the flight home rethinking his approach.

great- the kicking game. Punting/kickoff/FG all looked competent. Considering we give scholarships for the positions that should be expected.

good-coaching. Overall I was happy with coaching and the energy. It was hard to see how it looked throughout the game but the coaches looked engaged when the team got punched in the mouth early. They made the adjustments needed on offense after the rough start. IE- let the big boys eat. They got rid of the pants last year that only went down 3/4 of their legs it appears. The polos looked atrocious. They will need to re-evaluate that. They effectively got the young players in. Didn’t love how long Wright/starters stayed in during the 3rd quarter but I guess with no preseason, you want to get live reps. 8.5/10.

The bad- It shouldn’t be controversial to say- the passing game is terrible. Wright throws falling back no matter the situation. And it sucks because I really think this skill unit is good. The TE have good hands, and the WR were creating separation. the Oline from the start looked good in pass pro. But if it’s not a screen or within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage, I don’t think they will have any consistency. Can Wright throw a lob? Sure. But that is a risky play every time it’s in the air. Wright got incredibly lucky it wasn’t 14-0 after a brick handed Hawaii player dropped a sure pick 6. Wright showed the offense can be efficient without a pass game. But it’s going to draw a lot of comments in the game threads when Vu has to pass the ball.

overall- any win is a good win for this team. James Franklin rightly celebrated like it was the super bowl no matter the opponent. It’s a big deal for VU. Soak it in. Don’t come in flat against Elon. And I can not wait for the wake game. That will show us a lot more about what to expect going forward. No, we are not likely to win a couple SEC games, but they could at least be entertaining with the potential to finally end the losing streak. 4-0 to start the season. You heard it hear first a month ago. And I remember the wake bet I made.

Just finished watching the game, and for specifics I'll just reply to other posts talking about individual things. My main thought was just how much the vibe of this game reminded me of a non-con basketball game we always have a few of where we play like Winthrop or someone who we're more talented than but they're competent and have a couple decent dudes. In a lot of those type of games we're up by like 20 for about two thirds of the game and then we kind of just muck it up for a third of the game and win by like 12 or something, when we could have won by more but it's not really a huge deal necessarily.

I have issues with the lack of adjustments by the DC in the 2’d half but honestly I felt like our guys kinda had their legs come out from under them.

After the score to make it 35-10 it seemed like the tank hit E.

New Vandy offer is on campus today for the home opener versus Elon. Commodores were his first power five offer. Foster also has offers from Marshall, Army, Navy, and others. Plays wide receiver and safety for his high school team, but Vandy likes him on defense. May be someone to keep an eye on coming out of the weekend. we'll see
