Season Breakdown

This Vanderbilt team is a very young team that shows their inexperience with turnovers and missed assignments. They are led by their Center A.J. Ogilvy from Australia who gets the majority of touches for the Dores. They have some impressive wins to go along with some very discouraging losses including wins vs. Kentucky and South Carolina but they lost to Georgia just a week ago. They play some players off the bench to try and help their immaturity but they still play a lot of Freshman.
