Leading up to the start of the football season we’re going to preview all 14 SEC teams. We’ll start the ball rolling with the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Record last season: 3-9 overall, 0-8 in the SEC. The Commodores got trounced by Temple in the opener and finished by losing its final three games to Florida, Mississippi State and Tennessee by a combined 109-27. Tough year from start to finish.
Head coach: Previously the defensive coordinator at Stanford, Derek Mason arrived in Nashville to replace the popular James Franklin and, well, it was a season to forget.
