Your weekly Vanderbilt football preview, coupled with terrible betting advice!
Vanderbilt football took a step forward in 2015. Derek Mason’s embattled team posted wins over Kentucky and Missouri to begin the rebound from an 0-8 bottoming out in league play the previous year. Now, he can notch a major accomplishment on Thursday by winning his first-ever season opener as a head coach.
Vanderbilt will host a rebuilding South Carolina team on September 1, giving the SEC its first conference game. The Gamecocks are in their first year under former Florida coach Will Muschamp, and the defensive wizard will have plenty of problems to address with the team’s offense.
