I would be Careful, Last week the Cocks looked MUCH better offensively in the second half, scoring ALL of their points settling down, and have a gem of a true freshman wide out.
I don't know about MUCH better, they did muster 1 td and a couple of fg's against the FDoA (future doctor's of America) squad. 8 catches was a nice haul for the freshman, but orth won't have near the luxury this go round. Vandy is and probably always will be the dore'mat of the sec, regardless.

Plus on a side not, Perry Orth, Cocks starting QB, his brother just happens to be the QB on that South Alabama team that beat them in stark Vegas last week. Can't tell me that there isn't some vital information being passed back and "Orth"
a couple of 18 year old college kids swapping stories does sound scary, but danny will have some time to "mull" it over and implement change this week. Having b2b home games will add some extra time, and potentially losing conf. opener will give undivided attention after recent embarrassment from the spotted cats.
Jeffrey and Simmons on the dog defense should man handle any chicken run, and secondary should hold. Caroline struggled against vandy (think they "racked" up 308 total yds.), and night and away might not get that much here. However, they do have an nfl kicker that should put some small pts. on the board for the roosters.
My only concern here is Missy St. scoring proficiency. They seemed rather sedated against usa (a team they should have hammered out 50), and LAD (life after dak) may take some time. Dogs are getting good ground gains and Caroline is still rather young. Mischump being a newb in HC role, and Mullens staff in place at home.
As the total drops (44.5 current), oddsmakers and early bettors aren't expecting fireworks in this one, and probably a fair assessment. I would be surprised if SoCar crossed the 20 mark (maybe not get 10 here), and dogs likely will hike their leg on the post at least twice.
I'm looking at a final 24-10 type scenario, with the dogs having control of the wheel throughout. Got to figure dogs suit up for 60 in this one too, after jags stabbed 2 tds in 4th to topple. Also, think HF adv. will prove the difference as well. For whom the bell tolls, the bell tolls for thee.
It's just the right antidote in what ails the dogs, this place needs MORE cow bell, and they will get it.
