Game Thread: Vanderbilt @ #15 Texas A&M

[lilchi721]

Johnny is gonna play and Vandy hasn't named a starter yet though I think they will go with Robinette. First time for both eams. It may rain saturday during the game. Aggies are favored by 18.

it depends on whether senior Austyn Carta-Samuels' leg/knee is healed up enough by kickoff. If not, Vandy's QB will be:

RS freshman Patton "The Academic Brainaic" Robinette
as a recruit:
Tennessee's Gatorade Player of the Year, First Team All-State QB
3-star by Rivals
3-star by Scout
3-star by 247
3-star by ESPN
offers to Stanford, Iowa, UNC, Northwestern, Purdue, etc

Vandy blog Anchor of Gold:
"Robinette is the team's most highly touted quarterback recruit in years.
The former Gatorade State Player of the Year in Tennessee was a three-star player coming out of high school...His arm and athletic ability helped earn him scholarship offers from Stanford, Northwestern, North Carolina, and Purdue. He's also a great academic fit for Vanderbilt - he scored a perfect 36 on his ACT and earned recruiting interest from Ivy League schools like Brown and Harvard (his dad is elementary school assistant principal; his mom is elementary school teacher, and he aspires to go to med school and be a doctor)
Robinette's commitment to Vanderbilt actually came as a bit of a surprise. He was originally committed to North Carolina and even enrolled early in Chapel Hill, but left soon after orientation to come to Vandy instead. ... At 6'5", 200 lbs and with a big arm, he is a solid pocket passer who can also run the ball when the situation calls for it. The freshman combines an above average arm and high level athleticism to make plays both in the air and on the ground. He's a mechanically sound passer who is accurate with his throws, but he'll also have to get used to the pressure that he'll face against opposing SEC defenses. While he has the quickness to buy time in the pocket or to scramble into daylight, his ability to make these accurate passes won't be known until he gets thrown into the cauldron ... (with) the graduation of Carta-Samuels in 2014 ... Patton Robinette is the player that Vanderbilt will be counting on ... While his impact may not be felt in a possible redshirt season in 2012, his spot on the roster will be one of the most important when it comes to the long-term health of this team."

This gonna be interesting Vandy is last in running the ball and A&M is last against the run in conference. So who knows where this is going.

Come on now TE, there are two defenses that are worse...

But bad enough that three stud DL recruits committed this week. They were like "Damn! I could be a true freshman starter!"

Ben Malena says Johnny is gonna play and I just saw him throwing with his other arm. Though I think they can get it done without Johnny since Vandy is not Auburn.
