FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee vs Vanderbilt (CBSSN), 7PM Saturday, September 2, 2017

[SigmaNuBlue]

Down to 3.5 where I book

Line was -5 at the Mirage on Saturday. Down to -4 across the street at the Venetian.

A couple of the names on there are very suprising.

1. It seems Shane Tucker has made the move back to WR. Now the freshman Brad Anderson is on the two-deep at RB.
2. Alex Dale isn't the starter at safety, Wesley Bush is.

And Gordan went from 3rd string to 1st string. I think they should keep Tucker in the backfield. Shocking about Dale.

Someone on the other board also made a good point that Jocquez Bruce is nowhere to be found on the two deep. I heard he was doing real well this fall.

 

[SmithO1906]

Where can I find the two deep?

 

[BlueRaider95]

Where can I find the two deep?

C-Bow and company have it here for us.

 

[BlueRaider95]

Also just realized that former prized recruit Peter Bailey, who I believe Nebraska tried to steal from us at the last second, isn't listed on the two deep.

With TF's offense, a 2 deep doesn't matter that much. He uses like 12 Wr's a game. Joc will be in the rotation. He's had a good camp but Windham has had an excellent year. Coaches are real high on him. He's turned a corner and fights for the ball and is using his skill set to make plays now.

Also, you will see Jimmy Marshall. He's had a real good camp and has turned a few heads from what I've heard. It also helps to have a 6'5 215lb WR.

Very surprised to see Darius Harris not starting. Felt like he was one of the most underrated players on our defense. Khalil Brooks must have really made a step forward to steal his job. Regardless, it's nice to have some depth at the linebacker position. We've legit got 5 or 6 great LB's on our roster.

Nice to see Rosheem Collins already starting. Also, looks like Jordan Ferguson has really impressed the staff as he's listed as a backup DT. Looks like no redshirt for him.

I can't wait to see our defense in action. There's no reason for us to not be a top 50 defense this year. We are so talented on that side of the ball.

Ahh, the whining that MT cheated in 2005 when Jeremiah Weaver blocked the commodore's desperation late FG attempt and the Raiders won the game. See the comments after anchor of gold blog lame list of insults passing as an article...

I thought comparing coach stock to papa murphy's pizza was pretty funny.

God I hate Vandy. I hope we demolish those losers.

line continues to edge down, currently vandy is - 3

If MTSU defeats Vandy is field storming authorized?

 

[MT Glenn]

Vandy isn't really worthy of field storming, but if it gets us 20 years of whining...the goal posts must fall.

 

[SigmaNuBlue]

If MTSU defeats Vandy is field storming authorized?

Not against a program we beat 3 times in a row on their field.

What is the phrase? "Act like you have been there before." Well, we have...

They still claim that we had 13 players on the field when we blocked that FG. Hahahahahaha. All that money and they can't count to 11.

I locked it in at +3.5 where I book. Really wish I would have grabbed it earlier when it spiked to 6 for a day.

 

[blueraiderJT]

By the way, the jacka$$ that wrote this not so witty blog leaves out the fact the Vandy hasn't had a winning season since 2013. If they were that good, wouldn't they win more games? Last year, they had a breakout year. They beat us, WKU and TSU in their OOC. I don't see them going 3-1 in their OOC again this year. They have Ole Miss and UT on the road and will drop those games. KSU, UGA, UF and Bama are part of a 4 game stretch. If they lose to either us or WKU, they sit home for Christmas.

What that means is that all of the pressure is on them. If they lose to both us and WKU, they might win 1-2 games. Now, that would be a very good year for me. So if our coach is Papa Murphy's, WTH is their coach who will have coached his 4th season without a winning season? Expensive inedible garbage maybe? Just like most of the overpriced restaurants on West End.
