Someone want to make a thread?

"A new name along the defensive line to keep an eye on is Florida defensive end Kier Thomas. The former Florida State commitment is expected in town this weekend on an official visit. Auburn is thought to be the team to beat right now, but things are happening quickly as he's an early enrollee.

I'll try and confirm everything with Thomas tonight, but that's what I'm hearing as of earlier today."

Let's count all the ways Vandy sucks:

Red zone offense: Dead last in FBS. They've only been to the red zone 28 times (!) with 17 scores, 6 of those being field goals. 11 offensive touchdowns all year in the red zone.

Total offense: 119th in FBS. 16 total offensive touchdowns. A whole bunch of those came against hapless Austin Peay.

Passing offense: 112th in FBS. 8 touchdowns to 15 INTs. I'm not sure how many of those picks led directly to scores for the other team, but #teamanalytics suggests that the Dores passing the ball at all is not a good idea this year.

Completion percentage: 108th in FBS. Their QBs are completing 51.8 percent of their passes.

Rushing offense: 93rd in FBS. What?! Vandy isn't in the bottom 20 of an offensive statistical category? Oh....they average 3.60 yards per carry on the ground with 8 touchdowns on the season. In other words: they run Ralph Webb a lot. He gets tackled at the line of scrimmage a lot. He's a 1,000 yard rusher now with about 800 carries on the season.

Punt return defense: 117th in FBS. Opponents average 13.27 yards per return.

Turnover margin: 108th in FBS. 15 takeaways, 24 giveaways. That ain't winning football.

Net punting: 119th in FBS. 33.95 yards/punt average. No Trevor Daniel lurking on West End.

Oh, and their defense is pretty good, but actually worse than Mizzou's statistically. 5 yards per play allowed vs Mizzou's 4.38. 20 touchdowns allowed vs Mizzou's 18.

There's no reason for us to not absolutely crush them.

Basketvols looking good. I think we might be pleasantly surprised this year.

Agreed. The big boys will give them trouble due to the size and athleticism - but anything can happen. This line-up is just quirky enough to be difficult to defend and I love the transition game. This team seems to be figuring it out.

POA reporting Jacoby Stevens decommitted from LSU.

I'm absolutely shocked.

Was told as early as Friday that he was as solid as you can be

We are terrible on defense. Think it'll be a long year.

I thought Dane Bradshaw made a good point at halftime. He said that while they're not playing great defense now be he expected them to get better because they are just now learning how to play good man defense since they played zone most of last year.
