Fact of the matter is that our conference schedule is going to be getting even tougher in the coming weeks and we're going to be in serious serious danger of taking a massive poop in the sack for our season if we don't put together something even resembling a drive. There is nothing more BORING than 1-2-3 punt.<br /><br />Commodores problems boil down to one simple fact: Our talent is not making up for our inexperience. Most of these wideouts have never gotten in games before. Our defense has been fine, but we lost too much with graduation and injuries to hang on. Plus it's not like we have any time to get healthy, we have zero bye weeks.<br /><br />Maybe we gel tremendously in the next few weeks, but right now the rest of the season is not promising.Stanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068492073488859014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-79987801935046483042009-09-25T05:19:28.039-05:002009-09-25T05:19:28.039-05:00p.s. please just make him go away:

VU's schedule certainly hasn't been any harder than Rice's. Yes, Rice is a CUSA team, but Vanderbilt's SEC experience hasn't done too much for them yet this year.<br /><br />On top of that, this is Rice's first home game of the season, so I think they'll be extra eager for a win. This will be the second Rice football game I've seen (saw them loose a close one to Memphis two years back). Their gameday scene usually is pretty sparse (an effect enhanced by their vastly oversized stadium), but this being both the home opener and family weekend, I think we can expect an uptick in energy for an already energetic offense. <br /><br />A steady hand on defense and ball control with some trust in the run strike me as key elements for a Vanderbilt victory.ADhttp://leoindustries.books.officelive.com/blog.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-59015088688680854112009-09-24T14:37:37.389-05:002009-09-24T14:37:37.389-05:00That's probably the best way to win NOW, I agr...That's probably the best way to win NOW, I agree. From what I've seen though, that's not what is motivating Coach Johnson. Rather, he seems serious about implementing a faster pace and (theoretically) increasing Vanderbilt's scoring. What drove him to this change, I'm not sure, but I've seen recruits cite it as a reason that they've chosen Vandy this year, so it could be his way of attracting more offensive talent. Perhaps it was harder to attract talent to the "wait for the other team to screw up, capitalize, and squat on it" gameplan that worked last year.<br /><br />And yes, as bad as the offense is playing, this is a team we *should* beat.Daronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-90541961310740483152009-09-24T14:18:04.631-05:002009-09-24T14:18:04.631-05:00Rice was destroyed by graduation. Overall, they...Rice was destroyed by graduation. Overall, they've played better opponents this season than the Commodores have. With that said, Vanderbilt is definitely the more experienced team. <br /><br />The 0-3 and coming home for the first time scares me. This is a big game for Rice and every day it seems another Commodore is injured. While CBJ predicts a shoot-out, I think Vanderbilt would be well-served to establish the run early and stick with it. An effective no-huddle offense does not require snapping the ball with 20 seconds or more left on the play-clock, and I'd like to see them mix it up.Bobby O'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690105481225344056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-83703791986970452552009-09-24T14:00:50.309-05:002009-09-24T14:00:50.309-05:00I may be wrong but I thought we had more experienc...I may be wrong but I thought we had more experience on both sides of the ball than them.

I wouldn't say we are the more tested team. If anything they are AND this is their home opener, AND they are 0-3 and even more desperate to win than us, AND they know us from playing us last year and kept it pretty close.

I see your point about wishing he was less so, publicly, at least. <br /><br />Either way, I think we're about to (in the process of?) find out that "reloading" at Vandy is a lot less pleasant than reloading elsewhere.

Still, at the end of the day I would like to see the coaching staff taking a more "we didn't have our guys ready to play" position instead of being so defensive and making comments that start to sound like "wish we would've had our other QB on the field."Seamus O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811017078765515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-29856022079094471282009-09-24T11:16:36.884-05:002009-09-24T11:16:36.884-05:00I disagree with the assessment that he threw the p...I disagree with the assessment that he threw the players under the bus. The players overthrew or dropped perfectly fine plays. The route isn't the reason a player can't hold on and Larry Smith presumably proved able to throw these passes in August. We are still Vandy, and experienced talent is still something that we only have a finite amount of, to this point, so when a series of problems occur at one position (receiver), it's unlikely we'll have proven playmakers or even highly talented UNPROVEN playmakers ready to immediately fill the void. This team is built to compete via execution and discipline, and right now, the players aren't executing. I blame youth (at receiver and QB) far more than a lack of adjustments.Daronnoreply@blogger.com
