The Commodores beat South Carolina last week, and No. 2 Georgia beat the Gamecocks this week. Considering we both just played the same opponent, how do we stack up to the star-studded Bulldogs? Glad you asked.

What this says about Vanderbilt's defense: They'll give up some yards and they'll let you run a little bit and pass a little bit, but they seem to step up in the second half.
What this says about Georgia's defense: You can't run on them. And it's mighty tough to score. Vanderbilt doesn't match up well with these guys, but then again we didn't match up well with South Carolina either.
