Week 2 college football sees the Demon Deacons and Vandy Commodores meet at FirstBank Stadium on Saturday at high noon ET.
The Deacons are favored by -13.5 points in this matchup which is way up from the opening line that was touchdown two weeks ago. So, why the line move?
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Wake Forest was favored by a mere touchdown when the lines were fist issued for this game, and now the spread has inflated all the way to -13.5 toward an expected Deacs win. Why is that, you ask?
I get why the total has risen to 65.5 but Wake Forest going on the road and laying nearly two touchdowns? We’re not buying that noise, and it’s not like anyone was impressed with a win over the Virginia Military Institute to open the campaign, right? I imagine that someone out there laid the -33.5 with Wake and boy, did you get lucky when that game finished at 44 – 10!
So, Mitch Griffis did his job efficiently enough in the win over VMI, tossing the rock around the yard for 288 yards with 3 strikes in the end zone. Wake was up 23 – 0 before one shake of lamb’s tail and that’s just fantastic, good for them!
I still think that Wake has plenty to prove to us before I trust Mitch Griffis to go into SEC country and put up a monster day. I am not saying that Vandy is going to shut him down, but we all know that this is a kid that has little experience to rely on and he won’t just be able to hand the ball off and escape with a win here either.
Vanderbilt Commodores
Vandy is 2 – 0 out of the gate, and talk about scoring? Well, Vandy has put up 105 points in their first two affairs of 2022, but we are again not going to get caught up in that because of their opponents. I know I got to see the Hawaii game because it was on National TV, and my goodness did Hawaii just forget how to tackle anyone.
Vanderbilt wasn’t really in control until the second half, as it was 21 – 10 and it looked like Hawaii might give them a game. Then, if you watched it you know that Hawaii was bumping into people, and themselves, all throughout that second half as Mike White completed every pass and no one got in the receivers’ way toward the end zone. Even the defense got involved with the scoring in the 3rd quarter, as Vandy scored 35 points of their 63 points as they waved goodbye to the Rainbow Warriors after their visit to Honolulu to open the season.
If you are not sure of what you’re getting with the Vandy offense, just watch their QB control the game. White is going to throw the ball, run the ball, and he would catch the damn thing if they threw it at him too. Through two games, White has completed 31 of his 50 pass attempts for 391 yards and 6 touchdowns, and he’s carried the ball 24 times adding another 247 yards. Oh, the four trips to the end zone with his legs add up too, let’s not leave those off the preview.
