They QB is their leading rusher.
Their defense is terrible at takeaways.
Teams convert 40.2% of their 3rd downs against Vandy.
Teams convert 50% of their 4th downs against Vandy.
Vandy is ranked #68 in pass defense. Allowing 215 yds per game.
Vandy is ranked #37 in rushing yards allowed- 116.3 per game.
Vandy is ranked 51 in scoring defense giving up 22.14 pts a game.

Vandy averages 33.1 ppg on offense- ranked 35th.
 
How is Vandy's short passing game? Hope we can get in their receivers face, while shutting down the qb run game.🤘🏻
Their QB is has a knack for picking up short gains throwing and running. You can contain him but he's hard to get on the ground sometimes. They will kill you with 5 yard plays.
 
QE is not a run threat. QE is not the same QB since he got injured. I am very disappointed with him and Sark because QE admittedly started and finished the Georgia loss, NOT being 100% healthy. No wonder he played scared!

You’re either hurt or you’re injured. Hurt means you suck it up and play. Everybody is “hurt” 7 weeks into the season.
Injured means you can’t go and sit your ass out. If QE buckled up to play, he was hurt. I don’t want to hear shit about his “injuries” after a bad game. Him sliding 5 yards early to avoid contact spoke volumes about where his head is as far as protecting himself.

Vanderbilt offense is built on time of possession it's how they beat Alabama and how they won the next 2 games. They also avoided turnovers against Alabama. If you have average talent like Vanderbilt this kind of strategy gives you a chance.
 
Two more things. After beating Alabama they're going to show up thinking they can beat anybody now.

Charlie Brown kicked the football

Vanderbilt beat Alabama

And Texas damn well better not show up and think they'll win easy.

To be blunt I think the Georgia defense intimidated him. He's out of the running for the Heisman now.
 
Stats and rankings don’t always indicate who will win. OP didn’t show all stats anyway. For example, Vandy is ranked 8th in 3rd down conversions while we are ranked 37th. Will that matter on Saturday? No.

Look Vanderbilt doesn't have impressive stats but we're taking about Vanderbilt. Look is they can use at least 37 minutes of top and get a couple of turnovers they'll have a chance.

Stats aside whenever the Commodores played a really good team they played like a team that was already beaten before the game even started. But the Alabama game has changed everything. They won't come in afraid. But I'm sure Sarkisian understands that and he'll make sure his team won't underestimate them.

And I've watched Alabama since the Vanderbilt game. They haven't just lost the fear factor they're playing rattled. This is the upset of the century. I gotta tell ya I enjoyed the hell out of watching Finebaum coming unglued after the Vanderbilt game.
 
This is a very different situation that Texas is in compared to the past. In the past we all held our breath when the defense took the field because they couldn't consistently stop anybody. A game like this would be terrifying.
Not this year though, this defense is elite and Texas is gonna spank that ass.

Agreed. Our defense is better than Bama by a lot. Quinn has to quit worrying about protecting himself for the draft and just play the game. There’s a way better chance of him getting hurt playing scared than just playing balls out.

Reasons to be motivated. Vanderbilt is ranked. Honestly. A win for our boys and we can let everyone know we beat a ranked team.

They have an 8/3/1 record against us. Why we haven't beaten them since 1927. Of course we haven't played them since 1928 but still....
 
Combined 1st quarter totals last two weeks since QE came back.

0 points, 48 yards

That's not good.

I think it was 6 drives and 1 play in a drive that carried over to 2nd quarter.

8 yards per drive...smh
So you’re saying he’s due for a HUGE first quarter????

I don’t believe the idea that a college kid is playing to save himself for the draft. To clarify I do realize they often will skip a meaningless bowl game, etc. But today’s NIL world QE is already a millionaire. That’s just silly talk. But I do agree he needs to wake the F up and get back to being the stud we know he can be.

Manning is the better QB by far. He is always pushing the ball vertically with his arm and legs.

QE has to prove that he’s worthy of QB1 position (better than Manning).

C'mon now when Manning got put in the Georgia game he didn't do any better.

Meh, I think he will be one day but not currently. QE does need to get his shit together though, that we agree on.

Manning had some awful reads against Georgia as well. Manning's 1H vs. Miss. St. was pretty forgettable too. He has many flaws.

You forgot Vandy leads the SEC in turnovers they have only turned it over twice all year.
