DT - Greg Emerson
NT - Emmitt Gooden

Should be pretty good, with a Quality rotation:

Aubrey Solomon
Kurott Garland
Matthew Butler
John Mincey
Elijah Simmons
Savion Williams

Haha that's exactly the same thing I was saying in August about those exact players for this year and people acted like I was crazy.

There will potentially be one team on the outside looking in with an argument. Win and it doesn’t matter.

It’s also a joke that college football players would have to play an NFL length season to win a NC.

College kids shouldn't play that many games? Hahaha but only the pansies in d1 shouldn't? Fcs and d3 play that many games. Such a weak argument.

In groupings where Emerson and Gooden are on the field at the same time, I see Emerson at nose. Put Simmons with them and he mans that spot. Could see the 3 used together in some short yardage situations. As is, 3 deep at nose with plenty of snaps to go around. Starters I’m guess are Solomon, Emerson and Middleton.

Vanderbilt post game random thoughts:

  • If you want an idea of how much this team has grown from week one to yesterday - juxtapose how the team responded to the opening game turnover deep in Vol territory to GA State vs Vandy.

    GA State out muscled us for a TD. Vandy lost yards before settling for a field goal.
  • I hate hate hate that the game was played in those conditions. Just the sentimental fan in me wanted these seniors to go out and have their day in the sun, literally and figuratively. If I could’ve scripted it, it’da been a warm, dry game with a packed/loud stadium with us chucking the ball all over the field. These guys deserved that.
  • I woke up early and rewatched the game. Kind of hard to do because outside of the second quarter, it really was a lackluster performance.
  • I can’t fault JG too much for his performance. The weather, emotions, and delays surely didn’t play in anyone’s favor. He was definitely off, but it was far less than ideal conditions.
  • Which begs the question - wtf was with our offensive game plan early. I love me some Chaney - but last night was a head scratcher early.
  • JGs interception - he got the ball out late. That said, terrible job of Palmer not working his way back to the ball. He could’ve played that more aggressively.
  • The JG shovel pass to DWA was impressive and fun to watch... but it was all caused by a terrible Tim Jordan block. He basically just let the linebacker run right by him after just a glancing “block.” To his credit, he did redeem himself slightly by hustling after the shovel pass and providing a block that allowed DWA to gain another 3-5 yards.
  • DWA trucked a dude at the end of that play too. Drive ended with the DWA touchdown where he ran a great route. JG looked off the safety and DWA went into a window basically between three stoned defenders.
  • The 94 yard touchdown was caused by Carvin and Wright. They opened a gaping hole. Cedric Tillman provided a convoy. Eric Gray burst through with speed we haven’t seen at the position in a while. #3 went untouched.
  • Defense was salty most of the night. They were fun to watch. The vandy QB was disinterested. For a kid who has thrown over 9k yards in his career, he looked like a deer in the headlights freshman.
  • Glad we got to see one more (at least) Jennings beast mode run after the catch. I’m not sure what will come from the late game fight. Do I think he stepped on the kids head on purpose? No. But do I think it was foolish to get in that scuffle and rip his helmet off? Yes. I love me some JJ but that was a weird sequence and seemed completely unnecessary.
  • Jerome Carvin had his best performance since he’s been here IMO.
  • Ironic that on senior night, it was mostly freshman who stole the night. Gray had a record performance. Roman Harrison and Quavaris Crouch record sacks. Darnell Wright is killing guys in the run game. Our future is bright.

Could also be one of the incoming freshmen. I'm not the least worried about Pruitt and Ansley fielding a strong defense. I don't think there will be any holes.

Football forum sucks
Those guys bitching about winning 7 bc the teams sucked
Well last few years we’ve sucked and have been losing to the muschamps, vandys, mizzous, etc.....
Improvement is not hard to see
We only got our asses handed to us twice this year
Next year florida and uga will be a lot closer imo
Fulmer is our AD, what more do they want, he’s gonna make the best decisions we’ve had made from an AD in forever. Let’s hope he’s AD for another 20+ years

This will never happen - but I would love to see Alontae RS and go back to WR. Since that will not happen, I agree he needs to be at S. CJP saw the athleticism with him, but forgot about the instincts and personality you need to play CB well IMO. He might develop into a Deon Grant style S.
