Vanderbilt hasn't eclipsed the 3,000 total passing yards mark since the 2018 season, Kyle Shurmur's last season as a Commodore. That year, Shurmur threw for 3,130 yards. Since then, Vanderbilt hasn't really sniffed the 3,000 total passing yards plateau.
Check the stats:
2019: 2,064 total passing yards (Riley Neal - 1,585)
2020: 1,979 total passing yards (Ken Seals - 1,928) *Covid year in nine total games*
2021: 2,272 total passing yards (Ken Seals - 1,181, Mike Wright - 1,042)
2022: 2,248 total passing yards (AJ Swann - 1,274 yards, Mike Wright - 974)
As a true freshman, Swann surpassed Mike Wright as QB1 for the Commodores and is the sure-fire starter heading into the 2023 season. Seals is a more than capable backup on the QB roster with a ton experience under his belt if called upon due to injury. Vandy returns wide receiver weapons Will Sheppard and Jayden McGowan and are hoping that Quincy Skinner, Jr., Gamarion Carter can take the next step along with tight ends Cole Spence and Justin Ball. The offensive line also returns a ton of experience up front.
THE PICK: OVER. In a 12-game schedule, Vanderbilt will need to average 250 yards per game to reach the magic 3,000 marker. Swann has Vandy fans reminiscing of the Kyle Shurmur/Jay Cutler era, Seals is plenty experienced behind him, there are plenty of weapons to throw to, and the offensive line should be a solid unit. Sounds like a recipe for a 3,000+ yard season from the QB room.
What you got - OVER or UNDER?
