Good morning.
Optional Musical Accompaniment
Clark Lea’s weekly press conference was yesterday, which I didn’t bother to write about because it wasn’t during my lunch break like it usually is, so I’ll just let you read the Hustler’s recap. Probably the most notable thing we learned was that Patrick Smith, the team’s second-leading rusher last season, and four-star cornerback Trudell Berry are available this week. Both seem to have been suspended for the first four games even though Clark Lea wouldn’t say this out loud.
Vanderbilt also released the game notes for the Alabama game, and Chad Bishop has an article about the team’s preparations for Saturday.
