Vandy are a good team, let's not forget that.

I'm really proud of that effort. After starting slow and then last year's Vandy game, I think we had to overcome a mental hump there. We did well not to get into our heads and we just got on with it. Wommack had a nice second half, he had the defense rolling.

We aren't perfect but I feel very good about this team.

I’m more proud of this team this week than last.
Last year at Vandy, they pretty much folded after the pick six. This week, they took some body blows early, but kept playing their game. Now we just have to get Ty to not try and do too much. Just take what they give you, and know when to get rid of it.

Booger (like pavia) can go eat one for all I care
Booger should recuse himself from ever commenting on a Bama game after the pre-pubescent hissy fit he threw when the committee put Alabama in over FSU in 2023.

If your bias is that off the charts for or against any team or program, it should be a requirement to step aside.

It's really hard to get a read on this team. In the past two games the offense has done fairly well in the first half, and the defense has been gashed repeatedly.

In the second half, the defense has only given up 7 points in the past two games. Meanwhile the offense has just the one garbage time TD (rest of the points are field goals).

I'll take the wins, but it feels like they're balanced on a knife's edge. If they start playing complete games they can beat anyone and go all the way. If the offense and defense keep struggling in halfs though, it will catch up to them eventually.

I will look at it as a glass half full situation, they just need to start playing complete games and the sky is the limit.
It really wasn’t about scoring a TD in the 4th. Grubb and DeBoer wanted to milk the clock at the expense of a TD. They knew they couldn’t stop us outside the red zone. I don’t hate the approach, but I think we could have scored quickly if we wanted. The TD before the half allowed us to use this approach in the 2nd half.
