I say again. Wright has been impressive. Light years ahead of last year. Let's see next week. Another good showing and I say, he has proven all doubters.

Sorry to see Elon’s better qb getting carted off.

It’s slippery and his leg got pinned on a run where he should have slid.

While I haven’t been a fan of the new logo, these black helmets look really nice.

The new turf or else the rain is responsible for a lot of slipping - both teams.

500 yards offense - WOW - maybe we should have more than 28 points

If the defense is getting burned this bad by Elon, Wake will have a field day, not to mention the teams from the SEC.

I would have thought the defense would have been forcefully addressed during halftime.

Inquiring minds want to know, will the real Vandy defense please stand up?

I will say that our offense had look much improved and I'm optimistic because we seem to have a good rhythm. I like our offensive identity and play call. Thank goodness it's been a long time since I said that.

D, our problem is the line, we are so thin and short right now.

Our defense is not nearly as effective as the offense - man, this could get really close. 35-17

Looks like we are back to the Deuce offense.

Up the middle, up the middle, incomplete and punt.

Hate to say, we are playing a bit like the game is over. It isn’t.

A lot of good plays. But an increasing number of listless ones lately.
