STOP: There is no Quarterback Controversy; Larry Smith should be Vanderbilt's Starting QB
I don't care that Jared Funk led the Commodores down the field for their only touchdown in the second half. He is not as good as Larry Smith. I know Vanderbilt fans have been frustrated with Smith's play at times, but he is not the reason this team isn't winning games. From what I saw, he's the guy playing the hardest and trying to make the most happen on the field...

Thoughts on the Western Carolina Game
Saturday was a great night. Vanderbilt looked very impressive, the stadium was pretty packed for kick-off (even if it wasn't by the end of the 3rd quarter), and Tommy Tutone got up on stage at The Stage and played 867-5309/Jenny with the band. The Commodores (and their fans) saw a bright future in the backfield with freshmen running backs Zac Stacy and Warren Norman rushing for...

Coach Bobby Johnson had the following to say about Smith. "He's got a lot of tools to run the offense, to be able to throw the ball downfield." Larry also has presence in the pocket. He sees the field very well and knows what we're trying to do with the offense."...
