Anchor Drop, August 22, 2021: 13 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We’re now down to 13 days until Vanderbilt football’s September 4 season opener against East Tennessee State. 13 for the Commodores is defensive back Gabe Jeudy-Lally. The 6’1”, 186-pound redshirt sophomore from Charlotte, North Carolina, started three games last season and had 13 tackles with an interception and a pass breakup. And there was also this.

Vanderbilt soccer will play its second game of the season today, this one against Purdue. The Boilermakers are 0-0-1 on the season. Game time is 1 PM CT and this one will actually be televised on the SEC Network. DotP will have your game thread up later.

The football team had its second scrimmage of the fall yesterday, which is recapped by VUCommodores.com, the Hustler, and 247 Sports. I wasn’t there so I won’t sum up the recaps for you, but Clark Lea did have some more press availability afterwards:
