JessN: VANDY PREVIEW: A new tune in Nashville, or just the same old song?

Vanderbilt preview: Better offense, but weaker defense just means another overmatched 'Dores team
by Jess Nicholas, TideFans.com Editor-in-Chief

Alabama’s SEC schedule kicks off with a visit from old friends from Music Row.

It will take about a quarter to determine whether this version of the Commodores is singing a different tune than usual.

Vanderbilt is off to a 3-1 start in the 2022 season, but whether that means anything is yet to be determined. In TideFans.com's preseason preview, we had Vanderbilt 2-2 at this point on the way to a 2-10 record. Looking at the Commodores’ remaining schedule, the only real possibility for a win would appear to come Oct. 22 when Vandy visits a listless Missouri team.

RB comparison?

 

[BamaMoon]

RB comparison?

I think the QB comparison was there twice (the second one where the RBs normally are).

I'm sure he'll edit and repost.

JoJo is also missing from the list of injured WR.

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

Interesting that without Latu, Vandy might get the WR nod.

DL name is Tim Keenan.

Wrong K and P for Bama on special team analysis

"The kickers themselves – Joseph Bulovas at placekicker and Matt Hayball at punter – are both solid and proven."

 

[Ole Man Dan]

Can't get too excited about Vandy.
I remember too much football history.

I enjoy these analyses of upcoming games.

Where is the Running Back analysis and comparison?

Those are Vandy's kickers.

Saw this earlier today. I'm still laughing.

3. Scribes will tell tales of Alabama’s latest annihilation of Vanderbilt after Saturday, but nothing they write will top this lede penned by the Birmingham News’ Jimmy Bryan after the Crimson Tide smothered the Commodores, 66-3, in 1979: “Inflation killed the Vanderbilt Commodores Saturday. Once the football was inflated, Vanderbilt was dead.”

Inflation is back. Look out, Commodores.
