I think Chad is on to something with regards to the field.

On another note, did anyone notice that starting with the September 29th game against Eastern Michigan we play 9 straight weeks aganist 6 SEC opponents? Of those 9, 5 are at home, but the road games are at Auburn, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. Playing in the SEC is never easy, but this will be a particularly difficult stretch given the lack of recovery time between games. With that said, if Vanderbilt can get themselves into a zone, playing 9 consecutive weeks could be a blessing in disguise.
