The 1-8 record is really misleading though...

That indicates we are "really close to being good". I'm not sure that is true. All those 1 score losses were to teams outside the top 35 ESPN Power Index. Even worse, if you exclude the two NSCU games that were 1 point scores, the ranking of the teams which we lost by one score were: 105, 69, 80, 67, 91, plus wherever Vanderbilt ends up. The games against top 50, excluding NCSU, were not 1 score games as we got absolutely destroyed and lost them all by 2 to 4+ TDs. In fairness, it takes time to rebuild a program and including stats from the first year a coach takes over can be tough. There certainly was progress from 2022 to 2023, which is what makes the start to 2024 so tough to digest. ** Edited by jesuisvtguy at 9/3/2024, 7:24:44 AM

VT is 1-8 in one-score games in the Pry era.
Maroon Baboon • 09/03/24 12:14 AM ET
That totally ignores the reality of the rebuild Pry walked into

I, for one, don't care about the closeness of the scores. I care about

How can Pry have such a huge rebuild when you defended everything Fu did?**

And even with that caveat, being 1-8 is not THAT much underperformance

It shows a trend.
