It all comes down to three things: 1) Can we pass block/run block with the new o-line? 2) Which Nickson shows up/can one of the freshmen (Smith, Funk) step up and be a spark plug to the offense? and 3) Can we stop the inferior run games of the toss-up and favored to win games noted?<BR/><BR/>Hate to be a pessimist, but I think this is a transition year, where the season will be scrapped by week 9, but am optimistic that Larry Smith can show us something in the last 3-4 games.<BR/><BR/>Then again, who knows... we could derail either Florida or Georgia's national championship hopes and drink down the sweet sweet tears of unimaginable pain.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-22257704080957749032008-07-22T15:12:00.000-05:002008-07-22T15:12:00.000-05:00i see a 4-8 season. wins over miami (oh), rice, a...i see a 4-8 season. wins over miami (oh), rice, and duke for sure. then a surprise (and yes, i consider usc, ole miss, or miss st a big surpirse). maybe bigger but i doubt it. we have potential to win all 3 of those games and even against kentucky and wake. but i just don't see it happening this year. only thing i hope for is more and more vandy fans at home games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-67826108871878519182008-07-21T15:51:00.000-05:002008-07-21T15:51:00.000-05:00@ Miami (OH) W South Carolina L Rice (9/13) W @ O...@ Miami (OH) W <BR/>South Carolina L <BR/>Rice (9/13) W <BR/>@ Ole Miss (9/20) L <BR/>Auburn (10/4) L <BR/>@ Mississippi State (10/11) L<BR/>@ Georgia (10/18) L <BR/>Duke (10/25) W <BR/>Florida (11/8) L <BR/>@ Kentucky (11/15) L <BR/>Tennessee (11/22) L <BR/>@ Wake Forest (11/29) L <BR/><BR/>3-9, definitely no bowl game.J.B., M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00105608819825009748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-89142108476101023372008-07-21T09:53:00.000-05:002008-07-21T09:53:00.000-05:00Miami - WUSC - LRice - WOle Miss - WAuburn - LMiss...Miami - W<BR/>USC - L<BR/>Rice - W<BR/>Ole Miss - W<BR/>Auburn - L<BR/>Miss State - W<BR/>Georgia - L<BR/>Duke - W<BR/>KY - L<BR/>UT - L<BR/>WF - Win (6 and 6 with a bowl trip)Douglas Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239502832772753923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-68761364732300101482008-07-21T09:22:00.000-05:002008-07-21T09:22:00.000-05:00Vandy landed its 6th recuit.
