Western Carolina vs. Vanderbilt, Prediction Preview 2009
Vanderbilt is starting this season with great expectations. They ended the season last year with their first bowl win in fifty-three years, with 18 returning starters they are poised to return to bowl competition this season. Vandy will be showing up with sophomore Larry Smith as their starting QB. Smith started in the Music City Bowl last season, other than that he doesn’t have a whole lot of experience. Western Carolina’s QB, Zack Jaynes, is a bit more experienced in his position. His stats last season were pretty good. Western Carolina, however, does not have a good history when it comes to playing SEC teams. They are 0-12 versus this SEC coming into this game.
The Catamounts will be coming into this game with a great deal of emotion. They tragically lost one of their players, Ja’Quayvin Smalls, during the off-season. There is no doubt that they will play this game in honor of their teammate. Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson surely has great respect for Western Carolina after coaching against them for 8 years in the Southern Conference. All in all I think that Western Carolina will be able to hang with Vandy, but in the end I think the Commodores will pull it out. I say Vandy wins 24-14.
