Vanderbilt Football Can't Even Win a Spring Game

Vanderbilt Football can’t get out of its own way. Even in a intrasquad scrimmage, the SEC doormat can’t find a way to win.

The second season of the Clark Lea era kicked off Saturday at Vanderbilt Stadium. The Vanderbilt Football Black-White Game resulted in a 32-32 tie. Vandy’s social media team is a bunch of sickos for making this graphic.

Split into an offense-defense style scoring system, the defense actually had the upper hand entering the home stretch. A 21-yard pass from AJ Swann put the offense within two points. Lea let the Commodores’ offense go for two to end the game and the defense let the potential victory slip away.

“I let the offense go for two to tie it. They wanted to keep playing, but I felt like we had gotten far enough without injury I wasn’t going to risk it,” Lea said after the game.

Vanderbilt has five wins over the last three season. The least Lea could have done is at least let one side feel like they’ve won something. Instead, the second-year coach lobbed a soft-toss to the haters, creating the best tie graphic since Frank Beamer and Bud Foster shared a sideline.
