2018 Football Preview – SEC – Commodores
Looking for 2018 Vanderbilt Commodores predictions? The Commodores thought they were building in the right direction, before the Alabama Crimson Tide came to town and gave them a 59-0 beatdown and everything came falling back to earth. They have to try and pick themselves up and find a way to have success early in this season and hope they can hold on late.

Can this be the year they rise up from last year? Or is 5-7 just what type of team this is.
2018 Vanderbilt Commodores Predictions: Team Strengths
Veteran Quarterback : Kyle Shurmer is back to lead the Commodores again this year, and although he hasn’t been always wonderful, he is a good quarterback that has a ton of experience.
He is going to need to take that next step forward, but with him the team knows they are going to get a guy that gives his all every single play.

Look for him to be better this year, but will that be good is the big question?
Turnovers: The key for this defense is going to be turning the ball over, and the expectations with the new defensive coordinator is they will do that a lot.
Look for them to be aggressive, and try to really take chances to get the ball turned over.
2018 Vanderbilt Commodores Predictions: Team Weaknesses
Trouble Running the Ball: The Commodores just aren’t a very good offense, and a big reason is the way the running game performs.
They have Shurmer who will do his part, but without much of a running game, that won’t matter, and they will lose a lot of games again.
If someone can step up in the backfield that will be a big change, and could go a long ways in this team making it back to at least a .500 record.

Young Defense: The defense is going to be really young this year, and there are a lot of question marks surrounding this team.
The defense started off the season so strong, but as it went on they couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain and that led to a lot of struggles.
The young guys need to step up and prove they belong in SEC football.
Vanderbilt Commodores Prediction: 5-7
The Commodores didn’t do them any favors with the nonconference schedule and I really don’t see them making a bowl game this year.

I think they will finish with five wins again this season, and it might be time fothe r administration to think about making a coaching change this offseason.
