2007 Vanderbilt Football
Looking info for Current Vanderbilt Commodores football team? If so, go to 2010 Vanderbilt Commodores Football.
Frankly, we were a bit disappointed in Vandy this (2007) year. The Dores had a fine season (for them) -- ending up 5-7 (2-6 in the SEC). They beat South Carolina and Ole Miss. But, we'd hoped for a bit more. They needed at least one more win to get a bowl bid, and it didn't happen. Oh well, there's always next year. We'll have our 2008 predictions up soon, so check back.
Prior Discussion
Vanderbilt football seems a bit out of place in the the SEC. Not only is Vanderbilt the smallest college in the SEC, it is also the only private institution. And, of course, it is known more for academics than sports. The Commodores have not been to a bowl game since 1982.
Vanderbilt Football's head coach Bobby Johnson has really done a remarkable job with the program. Last year, the Commodores broke through with a big-time win at Georgia. Othewise, however, they were winless in the SEC (4-8 overall). But, they did have some other close losses (notably to National Champ Florida).
Overall, Vanderbilt returns eighteen starters - most in the SEC! This includes quarterback Chris Nickson, All-American wide receiver Earl Bennett, and four of the five offensive linemen, led by Second Team All-SEC left tackle Chris Williams.
Nickson is very athletic and has a solid arm. He can also spread it out and run the option to keep his opponent guessing. Last year he passed for over 2,000 yards and rushed for almost 700, making him a legitimate dual-threat quarterback. With two of his big receivers returning, Earl Bennett and George Smith, the Dores' passing game should be solid.
Vandy will likely be in virtually every game this year. We are going to go out on a limb and pick Vanderbilt football to have a winning season; finish 3rd or 4th in the SEC East (maybe tied for 3rd) -- and go to a bowl game for the first time in 25 years!
