Comments
It’s hard to get a good grasp on teams this early in the season. In game 1, Vandy’s offense was going against one of the best defenses in the country. The Commodore offense produced just 6 points against Georgia. Meanwhile, Purdue was losing at Nevada, a team Vanderbilt destroyed last season in Nashville. This game is being played in West Lafayette so that should help the Boilermakers. I’m going with Vandy in this one. Ke’Shawn Vaughn should have a big day. Derek Mason has a lot of experience stopping Brohm coached offenses. Vandy’s defense held Georgia to a 14% third down conversion rate so they should be able to stop Purdue enough to win this game.
