Depth Chart Battles
QB
In a 3-way battle between redshirted juniors, Ken Leonard won the starting job. Vanderbilt's offensive coordinator was looking for more mobility inside and outside the pocket, making him the clear choice over the slower Carlos Howell and Sean Parsons.
HB
No challenge here. The redshirted senior Jerron Seymour once again takes the lead as starter. If he can stay injury-free, he will continue to be successful.
FB
Charrod Clayton gets the job here, mainly for his blocking abilities.
C
Center Andrew Sapp (SO) was unable to prove himself worthy of the position over backup LGs Spencer Pulley and Kevin Riley.
RG
RS Sophomore Donnie Warren faced a similar situation. It's likely there will be a platoon OL this year, with no real specific position standouts in C and RG.
LOLB
RS Junior Albert Kimbrough, typically a backup MLB, takes over for RS Sophomore LOLB Ed Lee.
C'mon...you're not going to give that 48 OVR MLB a chance to improve? ;) :D

Starting off with a win
In a rematch of last year's close win, Vanderbilt is once again victorious in a tight game against Wake Forest. Thanks to an offsides penalty on a key late 4th quarter 3rd down play, the Commodores managed to get in range for a game-winning FG in the final seconds. This was a hard-fought, low-scoring game, and a great way to start off the season.
Dynasty Note
I ran the ball a lot that game, but as I'm still on 5 minute quarters, I may think about bumping things up if the next game isn't any better as far as the final score.
Week 3

Game Stats
Picking up where they left off
Vanderbilt continues their winning ways with another victory against UTEP, their fourth in a row since last season. The improved Commodore defense shut down the Miners, allowing only 107 yards of total offense, while Jerron Seymour continues his dominance in the running game. Despite a bruised shoulder that kept him out for some time, he still managed to rack up another 100 yard rushing game. We'll see if this trend continues on the road against Marshall.
Week 4

Herbstreit's Pick
Quarters adjusted to 8 minutes... Or they would've been, but it didn't stick.
Player of the Game: :Vanderbilt: Jerron Seymour: 14 carries, 252 yards, 4 TDs
Game Stats
Three in a Row!
Also: What you can do in 8 minutes, we can do in 5!
Once again, Vanderbilt pulls off another victory. Nobody can seem to stop Jerron Seymour's running game. The fans are excited for what might become of this season... Perhaps their first bowl bid in years?
Dynasty Note
Okay... Either I can go up to Heisman, or tweak the sliders. Not quite sure what I should do, but at the very least, the simmed defense seems unbalanced.
Week 5
:LSU: (2-1) vs. :Vanderbilt: (3-0)

(Gotta be the win streak...)
Note: Quarters now at 8 minutes.
Player of the Game: Are you kidding me? None!
Game Stats
Defense? What defense?
Okay... So this was a setback. Vanderbilt was snapped back to reality in this young season, especially their starting quarterback. The passing game was abysmal, with several interceptions in the game. They'll need to bounce back quickly to try to stay up in the conference.

Dynasty Note
Damn, the simming seems really unbalanced... After a half, it was 28-14, and I thought I'd give it off to the CPU for simming, just like part-way through the LSU game. I don't get it... They don't get blown out nearly as badly when I'm not simming the offensive drives, even if I am throwing picks. :(

Tough Loss, Leonard Benched
Despite a powerful running game, the on-and-off passing game of Ken Leonard has forced the offensive coordinator to bench him in favor of Carlos Howell for at least the next game after a tough loss. Four interceptions just aren't going to cut it, especially when they lead directly to scores. This loss could pretty much be placed squarely on Leonard's shoulders, and believe me, he knows it.

Georgia offense too much for Vandy
Already down by a score of 31-7 after the first half, it was clear that the Georgia offense had likely already done enough to secure their team the win. Had the Commodore defense come ready to play in the first half, things may have turned out differently. But this was really no surprise. At least things were kept to a 14 point loss.
Want a pillow or are you tired of laying down? C'mon Vandy... Wake Up!! :)

Total Domination
Vanderbilt's defensive prowess came to play once again today, against a less difficult Virginia team. If Vandy can continue to play like this through the end of the season, they could be looking at a bowl bid.
I'd say they woke up quite nicely right there... ;)Quote:

Game Stats
Heartwrenching loss, defense fails Vandy again
With the lead in the 4th quarter, it looked like Vandy would come away with a win. However, two late turnovers gave Kentucky the last minute score. There just wasn't enough time for Vandy to come back, despite it being the game where Jerron Seymour set the Vanderbilt season record for rushing TDs. Very disappointing loss, ending any hope for a bowl game.
Also, the kicker missed an extra point. AN EXTRA POINT! Otherwise I wouldn't have had to try to go for 6 on the final drive. Sigh.

Vandy's Offense Stymied
The offensive coordinator is once again feeling the pressure coming up to the offseason, as his team can't muster a win... or any points, against a 2-8 team. They equaled their win total from last year, though many people were hoping for at least a bowl bid this time around. It didn't happen, so it'll be interesting to see whether he'll stick around for the final year of his contract.
Note: Game was simmed after nearly impossible offensive 1st quarter... Looks like it wasn't just me.
