Hypothetical Vanderbilt vs. WKU Aftermath

Unfortunately, this looks like a response thread now, but I was considering posing the question before that was posted. Basically, I was curious to see how tRant views WKU as a team and how different results would effect your view of Vanderbilt's team. Try to set aside your personal feelings about each possible outcome because some of them are just there for the sake of argument.

1) WKU dominates. Their offense runs wild while their defense makes Vandy fans start making sure Karl Dorrell is not again patrolling the sidelines. We again see QB cycling with McCrary and Freebeck being alternated and possibly even replaced by a 3rd QB (likely Shurmur but possibly Stankavage). The final score is something like 45-3.

2) Close WKU win. Vandy's offense is able to match WKU's output. Now, that could mean the Commodore defense shuts down WKU while the Hilltoppers return the favor or that both offenses go wild. Maybe each scenario means something different to you. Either way, Vanderbilt looks stable and functional. Obviously, the performance isn't great, but it's nowhere near the dumpster fire we saw last year. The QB position is not great, but plays to a C+ or B- grade. Basically, if you saw the UT-Vandy game last year, that's the kind of performance I'm thinking about except it's WKU and not UT.

3) Close Vandy win. It's the same scenario(s) as above except Mason and his squad do just enough to start 1-0.

4) Vandy controls the game. They look like a team who really gets it and is playing well. There are the typical first game dropped passes and a few extra penalties or missed assignments, but those mistakes are overshadowed by the on-field improvement. The big quesiton mark at QB grades out in the B+ range. The offensive and defensive schemes work moderately well and result in a comfortable finish in the neighborhood of 31-10.

5) Vandy obliterates WKU. Somehow, someway, this team has emerged from the ashes of last season and looks ready to take on the world. This game looks how many feel an SEC vs C-USA game should look. Quarterback play is at least a B+, and the rest of the offense carries whatever deficiencies exist to the point that it is not even worth discussing. Ralph Webb goes off and makes sure every football fan watching knows how legit he is. The schemes come off to perfection in all facets. Final in the range of 49-3 with Vanderbilt having called off the dogs near the start of the 4th.

This thread probably requires way too much critical thought, but I just want to see how people would react. It's interesting to see how some on here are predicting scenario 1 while others are more in the 2 to 3 range. I think one person even went more towards 4 in another thread.
