What did you think about the roughing the passer penalty on him early in the game? Seemed questionable to me but of course I'm biased

Yeah, it was questionable, but I do think he could have pulled up a bit once the QB launched the pass. I think the rule that protects the QB's is a good rule, and am not too hard on the officials for enforcing that one.

Vandy was good enough to win the game despite a couple of questionable calls going against them.
Go Vandy!

And now Mike Wright is the Maxwell Award player of the week! (Best QB performance)

All these Vandy players winning national player of the week awards… sheesh! Kind of a distraction, really.

I would think that these and any more awards can only help in recruiting.

As important, the two recipients are fine young men who are great representatives of Vandy.
