Vandy will think they are playing an opponent moving in slow motion vs Northwestern after the Carolina game. Their offense, "which still has issues" will look like a well oiled machine vs a defense that can't hold a lead and gave up 596 yds to a Syracuse team who is clearly inferior to Vandy. Their defense has shown no ability to slow or stop even a mediocre team's O.

Expect Zac Stacy to emerge as a running threat this week with 100+yds rushing easily, as he won't be running against a lightning quick D with future NFL talent. Mathews already racked up 147 yds receiving against one of the better D's in the country, expect more of the same.

This is an experienced intelligent Vandy squad, they bounce back this week and win. There is a wide discrepancy in strength and speed between these teams.
