One Reason Why Vanderbilt Will Win

The program that wasn’t playing football last year at this time just blew out Alabama A&M by 31 points.

And about that running problem Vanderbilt had against, Southern Miss, UAB was able to take off for 252 yards by controlling drive after drive and not take any chances.
