How Vanderbilt football is working to eliminate penalties for Arkansas game

Following a string of three consecutive defeats, Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea has implemented a new disciplinary measure to curb frequent procedural errors. Players now face physical conditioning exercises after practice for any operational infractions committed during drills, such as false starts or offsides.

The team currently averages 9.3 penalties per game, a figure that ranks among the highest in the FBS. These mistakes have proven costly, notably contributing to a significant point swing during the recent loss to Ole Miss.

As the Commodores prepare for their upcoming homecoming game against Arkansas, leadership and players are emphasizing increased focus, film study, and attention to detail to rectify these recurring issues.
