After a 2-10 season, I’m not sure Vandy fans or anyone, for that matter, expected Clark Lea to pull off the Commodores’ best recruiting class since 2013. Vanderbilt’s 2022 class currently ranks 32nd in the country and includes 28 signees. Despite a brutal stretch of seasons, the vision from this coaching staff has struck a... Continue Reading →

Clark Lea: "I’ve never been more energized for where we’re headed" And just like that, the season ended. As expected, Vanderbilt concluded the 2021 season with road losses to Ole Miss and Tennessee, finishing winless in the SEC for the second straight year. And also as expected, neither game was competitive. The Commodores lost to... Continue Reading →
Woah. I have been very vocal about my opinion of this staff’s approach to the offensive side of the football. The gameplan week in, week out is predictable, complacent, unimaginative, and unsuccessful. My criticisms have remained consistent throughout the year: Predictable 1st and 2nd down play calling, especially early in gamesOvercomplicated scheme – K.I.S.S (Keep... Continue Reading →

For a half anyway, the Commodores looked like they belonged on the same field as the Gators. Thetotal yardage was almost even – 215 for Florida versus 200 for Vanderbilt. The Commodores weredominating time of... Continue Reading →
