Challenges for Vanderbilt
Vandy showed some improvement in their last-second win over Connecticut. The Commodores can’t become Alabama or Georgia overnight. However, if they keep improving game by game they’ll eventually get to where they can play other SEC teams more closely. The next step after that will be beating other SEC squads. No one is saying Vandy can’t get an SEC win this season. The ‘Dores probably won’t win this game but if they can keep it close with the Gators, hey, anything can happen. Especially when you have a solid kicker.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
