Not sure, but the Nevada Vanderbilt game looks good if you like College football.

@OKWTF2 it'll be my first time at a college game - really looking forward to it.

Vanderbilt is favored by around 10, started at 9. I do this TV write up thing on facebook and a friend requested info on it, here is what I know:

The Wolfpack of Nevada travel to Nashville Saturday to take on the Commodores of Vanderbilt at noon (SEC Network). The Wolfpack feature the Air Raid style passing attack that was fine tuned against Portland State last week with 420 passing yards and 72-19 rout. QB Ty Gangi connected on 16-26 passes and their receives averaged 23.3 yards for the game. WR McLane Manniz leading the receiving corp. with 3 TDs . They have a trio of RB with Toa Taua gaining 56 yards on the ground and Jaxson Kincaide & Devonte Lee each with 43. Both teams also scored on Defense with the Wolfpack’s Daniel Brown returning an interception 41 yards for a TD. Special teams also showed up with Romeo Doubs returning a punt for an 80 yard TD.

As impressive as the ‘playstaion’ stats sound, Portland state is not an SEC defense, and although Vanderbilt may be near the bottom of the conference, their Defense will be a lot better and they are also playing at home and were able to get a pair of turnovers and sacked the QB 6 times last week against Middle Tennessee State.

The Commodores are led by QB Kyle Shurmur who started the season with 170 yards through the air and two TDs connecting to WR Kalija Lipscome 4 times for 60 yards and one of those TDs. For rushing Jamauri Wakefield carried it for 56 yards and a TD & Khari Blasingame added a TD and 52 yards on the ground as well.

So what will happen? An entertaining game it seems because the Wolfpack will test a good secondary and be tested in the trenches all game. With their style of play and big play potential they really will never be out of it, but look for the bigger, stronger Commodore team to wear down the Wolfpack and take control late in the game. IF…

They can control the ball. A balance attack and ball control keeping the Wolfpack Offenses on the sideline will be the smart move. They have the pass rush and a decent enough secondary, but need to keep them fresh and to do so need to really move the ball and have a much longer time of possession to take advantage of their bigger, stronger guys controlling the trenches. As good as their pass rush is, the Air Raid takes timing and if the Wolfpack starts clicking the ball is not in the QB’s hands for very long. IF they are not pulling away by the 4th quarter this one can slip away from them on one crazy bounce of that weird shaped ball.

@nahright09 that's awesome. Do you like country music or went there for another reason? I've always wanted to go.
nahright09 · 41-45, M
@littlepinklotus i'm not passionate about country music but i do enjoy the old stuff - generally love music. Lots of drinking and dancing too, and loved the food.
