I was worried about our first game against Vandy this year. And Spurrier is correct when he says that every team on our schedule can beat us if we are not prepared.
I have all of 2011 games on disc and just watched the vandy game for the second or third time. We did not play very well and the game was closer than the score showed, but we still won 21-3. Here are some reasons why i think we will beat Vandy in the first game of the season;
1. Our defense will be too good against their offense. Even last year when we were not playing well offensively, the defense dominated Vandy all night.
2. Marcus Lattimore. Even as Garcia struggled, SOS found ways to get the ball to Latti and he was hard for vandy to keep out of the end zone.
3. No Garcia. Now i was a huge Garcia fan, I love that guy, however, he was the only reason the Vandy game was even close last year. He played terrible, throwing 3 pics, fumbles, miscues, errand throws, he was all over the place. Even the announcers kept asking why SOS had not put Shaw in. This year we wont have Garcia, we will have Shaw, who i must admit is a better QB than Garcia. I think Shaw is a really good QB with some real weapons around him and he is going to give Vandy (and every team we play) a severe headache.
I think Vandy comes out fighting but by the 2nd quarter, their spirit will be broken.
