After a slow start, the Hogs were able to put Vandy away in convincing fashion, rolling to 555 total yards of offense and holding the Commodores to a measly 23 yards after the first quarter (153 total). Continuing with the positives, Ryan Mallett looked very sharp, Knile Davis ran hard once again and, after making Larry Smith look like Cameron Newton in the opening minutes, the defense made him look like, well, Larry Smith for the rest of the game.

On the negative side, penalties remain a major issue and - most ominously of all - Greg Childs left the game with a very bad-looking knee injury in the 4th quarter (when the Hogs were already ahead by 21).

We'll have more thoughts later...in the meantime, what do you think?
