It is only starting to feel like the 2019 football season is a lost cause, but a win tonight against the Ole Miss Rebels... well, it wouldn’t change everything, but it would at least be off script.
So far this season, Vanderbilt has lost to Georgia, Purdue, and LSU, and none of the three losses were particularly close. They managed to beat Northern Illinois last Saturday, but impressed approximately nobody in the process. Vanderbilt currently ranks 85th in Sagarin and 87th in SP+. There is substantial evidence right now that this team is not very good, and yet, tantalizingly, there are three seniors on the offensive side of the ball who will probably be playing in the NFL at this time next year.
