Saying this is a 7-8 win team might be a tad dramatic. We're clearly not at the level of OU and OSU, so that can die, but nothing that happened last night indicates that this still can't be a 9 or 10 win team. Vandy is better than we gave them credit for and we clearly overrated this offense.
Vandy's defense is likely to be either the second or third best defense we'll see this year, those corners were damn good. Combine that with the fact that we had the perfect storm of a bad passing QB, bad receivers, and scared, unimaginative play calling and you're left with 7 road points. I think the difference between 7-8 wins and 9-10 wins will be our next road game at UT and the home game against WVU.
