Why Vanderbilt Has You Covered
Vanderbilt, after going 2-10 last year, should step up in its second season under head coach Clarke Lee. Quarterback Mike Wright is back under center after throwing for over 1,000 yards and scoring eight touchdowns last year. He’s playing behind his line offensively returning his three starters and will have a large size advantage up front against Hawaii’s undersized his line.
The Commodores also face a Rainbow Warriors defense that returns three running backs and allows 31.4 points per game and 5.8 yards per play. Offensively, that unit is expected to struggle early in the season as Hawaii lost its top passer, top rusher and top receiver. Vanderbilt covered the spread in five of his last six games last year and is positioned to start the 2022 campaign with a big win.
Why Hawaii can be Covered
Hawaii is excited to turn a new leaf under Chan, who was a record quarterback during the Rainbow Warriors era. He ends up starting all over again after the disastrous end of the Todd Graham era followed by a massive exodus. Chan has some talented quarterbacks, including pitt Joey Yellen and signal-caller Brayden Shager.
The Rainbow Warriors only allowed the team to complete 57% of their passes last year, but many of those completions came on big plays. Vanderbilt doesn’t have an explosive passing attack, which should help Hawaii contain the damage Saturday night. Greatly boosts morale.
