Vandy last year had a very good defense. From that defense they did lose quite a bit. The offense last year was below average (at best). Vandy is bringing in a new QB. The question still remains is the new QB good enough to raise the Vandy offense to an average level?
KSU run offense vs Vandy defense--This game will truly show how good the KSU offense can be. IF KSU can effectively run the ball they will score quite a few on Vandy. Personally, I think that Vandy's defense will stifle KSU run game somewhat. Slight edge KSU
KSU passing offense versus Vandy--Vandy with above average defensive backs. Is KSU truly improved at the WR position. With the showing the last few weeks and Texas Bowl I would say yes. Once again, a chance for KSU to prove that they are an elite offense. KSU O line will be key here as I say Ertz has a lot of time to throw. Edge KSU
Special teams--Large edge KSU
Vandy run versus KSU--KSU actually above average against the run. D line will keep LBs clean. Look for KSU to make some mistakes but overall handle Vandy rush. Edge--slight Vandy
Vandy pass versus KSU--IS the QB for real or not. If so, edge Vandy. If not, edge KSU
