Fans mad at Derek Mason, Vanderbilt offense for not putting Sarah Fuller in position to kick during sloppy first half

Vanderbilt has an opportunity to make history on Saturday. Soccer goalie Sarah Fuller is dressed for the game and could become the first woman ever to play in a Power 5 game.
However, that will require the Commodores to have a reason to kick the ball. They didn’t get one of those opportunities during the first half.
As Mizzou took a 21-0 halftime lead, the Commodores had trouble crossing midfield against the Tigers. That has Commodore fans understandably frustrated.
As you can see below, some fans are sick of coach Derek Mason and want him fired. Others are upset they didn’t get to see history made in the first half:

And then Vandy picks up back-to-back pre-snap penalties.
Derek Mason clearly wants us to watch more Vanderbilt football than any of us intended in 2020. https://t.co/KfUscPmoqV

Derek Mason is so bad at his job. The call to Fuller was to distract from how awful he is at coaching football.

I want to be mad at Vanderbilt, Derek Mason and Fuller for making us watch this slop fest of a game…
But it’s our fault, and we all know it.

At Derek Mason: If y’all are scoreless at half, let Sarah do the second half kickoff. I’ve got shit to do today

Not sure what Vandy will do about Derek Mason but idk how you can justify keeping him as head coach. They have been dreadful to watch.

There are still 2 quarters left to play. We’ll see if Fuller gets a chance after the intermission. Fans will be watching and growing more frustrated with each minute that passes by.
