Question: Will the week 4 Bye Give us the edge over a no-bye-yet Vandy?

[CajunCrimson]

Will we get an advantage from our bye week 2 weeks ago while Vandy hasn’t yet had a break?

Is fatigue a factor?

If we focus on getting some pressure on and containing the QB!

Since it was 2 weeks ago I'd say no. Whatever extra energy we had from the bye week we had to use it all to get out of Athens with a win. I don't know if Vandy really minds not having a bye thus far because they're on such a roll right now that maybe they don't want anything disrupting their routine. Of course if we beat them then they'll feel exhausted, demoralized and ready for their break.

I'm just not sure how CKD prepares during a Bye Week. If it was CNS, I would immediately say yes. However, DeBoer is still an unknown to me. The only thing predictable about him is his baggy sweats on the sideline.

Fatigue and injuries. Their defense has a lot of dudes out. If our defense can focus just a little, like they did against GA, we can hold serve. The offense can build a lead. Time of possession will be key. Wear them down and score every series!

Gene Stallings said he never liked open weeks when the team was winning. He liked to keep that momentum rolling.

Maybe slightly but I don't think it will be that big of an edge. We already have some injuries and we clearly spent a lot of the bye week prepping for UGA.

Don't think it's that big of an advantage. The bigger edge will be Missouri having a bye right before our game while we will be coming off UGA and Vandy back to back
