Last week went...poorly.
There were few glimpses of sunlight as storm clouds rained sewage all over Vanderbilt’s trip to Atlanta in week three. A typically stout defense got undressed in a manner befitting a high school team, not an SEC program coached by a defensive wizard. The Commodore offense moved the ball with purpose...for exactly one drive, then embarked on a 54-minute scoring drought.
It was one of the worst losses in the Derek Mason era, and that’s not a distinction to be thrown around lightly.
After a week of reflection, Saturday’s game in Bowling Green, KY will give the Commodores their chance for redemption.
