NIU vs. Vanderbilt Football Prediction and Preview
Quote:Commodores host Huskies in schools' first meeting in 20 years
The start to the 2019 season has not been kind to either NIU or Vanderbilt, with the two teams combining for just one win thus far in six total games. But when the two come together Saturday in Nashville, squaring off for the first time since 1999, a chance to rebound from the poor start will be alive for both sides.

I had planned to go to the game but have to go to Chicago instead. Any watch parties in the DesPlaines area?

Liddle Petey Short Bus writes an article...
Vanderbilt vs. NIU Fearless Prediction, Game Preview
Quote:Why NIU Will Win
To be fair, Vanderbilt has played Georgia, LSU, and went on the road to deal with Purdue, but so far the team hasn’t even been close to stopping anyone who wants to throw a forward pass.
Usually there’s some sort of an identity to Vandy football with something positive it can do each and every week to make teams worry. There isn’t any of that so far, mainly because the secondary is getting ripped apart 361 yards per game.
NIU doesn’t have a possible NFL starting quarterback like LSU and Georgia enjoy, but Cal transfer Ross Bowers isn’t all that bad. He’s thrown for 229 yards or more in each of his first three games, and while he’s spread out three picks, he’s at least a veteran quarterback who can hold his own against this Commodore secondary.
NIU is fantastic at controlling the clock and the tempo, and it’s rested after getting two weeks off after getting blasted by Nebraska, but …

Pre-Snap Read: Vanderbilt vs. NIU
Quote:Why NIU can win
The Commodores surrendered nearly 1,000 passing yards in their last two games. While Bowers hasn’t thrown for more than 299 yards in a game this season, Vanderbilt yields 361 yards passing per game and has given up 12 TD passes through three games.
If ever there were a game for the NIU passing attack to break out, it appears this would be it.

More from the Nashville Post.
Vanderbilt leaning on Neal, Mason’s experience against NIU
Quote:After running the gauntlet in the first three games of the season, including playing two top-five ranked teams in the first three weeks, the Vanderbilt Commodores appear to have a much more winnable game this weekend against NIU.
But if you ask Vanderbilt quarterback Riley Neal or head coach Derek Mason — both have prior experience playing NIU — Saturday’s game against the Huskies is not one to be taken lightly.
“I’m 0-4 against NIU in my career, so they’re a really good team. I think that’s understood,” Neal said. “I’ve played against a lot of players on their team. I think they have a little different scheme, so we’re just kind of going off what they’ve put on film so far.
Neal and Mason are a combined 1-7 against NIU. However, when Neal plays against the Huskies, he tends to have some of his better games. In three starts against the Huskies, he has averaged 309 yards passing with four touchdown passes against one interception.
What the writer fails to mention is that all four of Neal's touchdown passes came in Neal's first game (a loss) versus the Huskies and that he's been shutout of the TD column in his last two starts.

1) Beat Vandy
2) Go 8-4 or at least 7-5 this season
3) Win your bowl game
I would consider that another banner season.

Is the SEC network the only way to watch or will it be streaming somewhere?

I included a link to the "Watch the SEC Network" page in the original post that may help figuring out where/how to find the game.
There's also this I found:

If we had our LBs I think we would have a chance. Now, not so much. And listen I'm down here for the game... so I REALLY want a win.
