On this week’s episode of the Hustler Sports 30, Simon Gibbs, Alyssa Muir, Betsy Goodfriend and Justin Hershey discuss the latest in Vanderbilt fall sports, which features two programs—football in soccer—heading in very different directions. While soccer is coming off a 2-0 win heading into the final regular season tilt, football is coming off a jarring 54-21 loss to Ole Miss.
