In 2016, Vanderbilt needed a superhuman effort to upset Georgia on the road. In 2017, those Bulldogs are even better — and Cunningham is now a Houston Texan.
So how can the Commodores pull off a repeat in Nashville? By finding the offense that escaped them last fall. Vandy gained just 171 total yards in Athens last year, struggling to move the ball against a tough UGA defense and gaining just 1.9 yards per carry in a game they probably didn’t deserve to win.
The bad news is the Georgia defense has only gotten better. The Bulldogs ranked seventh in total defense in 2016.
