I am not saying they are better. Sometimes, the better team doesn't always win and in this case WKU doesn't know how to win the "big" game yet imo but that could change as well.
Not to mention UMass blew the game period. They outplayed Vandy all day until the 4th quarter. They were up 31-20 starting the 4th and went into "play not to lose" mode. The offense went 3 and out for every series in the 4th quarter except the last drive when they finally opened the playbook back up, plus one of Vandy's TDs was a blocked punt.
I also don't remember the last drive exactly, but I'm pretty sure they had a gimmie touchdown and a receiver dropped the ball.
Vanderbilt was so genuinely surprised that they beat UMASS that one of the players went and hugged the UMASS kicker lol. David Williams was celebrating like they just won the CFB Playoff.

He gives Mason a game ball in the locker room, lol. Such a pathetic video. Williams is patronizing Mason like he's a little kid. He went from a coach who beat UGA, UF, and UT in the same season to a coach who is giddy over beating UMass.
Playing 80 players per game suggests that Mason is either clueless as to which guys are capable of contributing or the entire roster is so bad that there's not much difference between starters and scout team guys.
Imagine how bad a 4th or 5th string guy at Vandy must be. And Mason is saying he's going to trot those guys out onto the field on a regular basis.
