Preseason Peak: Vandals On Upswing

If the Vandals are going to repeat last year’s success — their first winning season in a decade — they are going to need to get better in the offensive line and on defense. Head coach Robb Akey sees both of those things happening. “We’re gaining ground in the offensive line,” Akey said. “We knew that was going to take some work. It’s going to continue to be a work in progress, but I do feel like that is getting better. “The defense is starting to get a little swagger to it, and I expected to see that,” he said. “They’re performing better and I can see confidence growing there”/ Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook & ESPN .
