Here are 20 facts you may or may not know about Vanderbilt football:

Tennessee’s first game: Vanderbilt’s 40-0 win over Nashville (Peabody) at Nashville Athletic Park was the first organized football game ever played in the state of Tennessee. Team captain Elliott Jones, a fullback, was also Vanderbilt’s coach. Imagine that.

Vanderbilt’s all-time winningest coach: A College Football Hall of Famer and former standout guard at Michigan, Dan McGugin enjoyed two lengthy stints — 1904-1917 and 1919-1934 — as the Commodores coach and remains Vanderbilt’s all-time wins leader with 197. McGugin was awarded two national championships retroactively by Clyde Berryman.

Dudley Field’s storied beginning: In what amounted to one of college football’s best defensive outputs in history, Vanderbilt and Michigan battled to a 0-0 tie in 1922 at Dudley Field. The Wolverines were considered favorites, but a late goal line stand preserved the Commodores’ near upset. Vanderbilt finished 8-0-1 that season and didn’t allow a single point at home.

Vanderbilt’s draft picks: Since 1968, 64 players have been selected in the NFL Draft including a single-year best four in 2001. Four were selected in the first round, most recently offensive lineman Chris Williams in 2008.

Jordan Matthews surpasses all: The owner of nearly every school record at wide receiver, the SEC’s all-time leader in receiving yards and catches was a two-time all-conference player and earned All-American status as a senior in 2013. Matthews may not be the most decorated player to ever don the Black & Gold, but he was arguably the most productive.

Frank Mordica’s 321-yard explosion: In an effort that won’t soon be matched in the era of fast and athletic defenses, Mordica’s record-setting rushing mark against Air Force in 1978 was a work of art as he darted his way through the Falcons’ front seven. Mordica also holds the third-best single-game rushing effort in Vanderbilt history, accumulating 187 yards against The Citadel during the 1979 campaign.

Lopsided rivalry wins: Some of Vanderbilt’s most well-known rivalries stretch over 100 years, but you would have to go back to the early 1900s to see the commodores’ most dominant performances in these games. During the 1915 campaign, Vanderbilt upended Ole Miss by a record-setting score of 91-0. The following season, the Commodores embarrassed Kentucky, 45-0. In 1918, the program’s largest win against Tennessee came in the form of 76-0. The Vols however lead the all-time series 74–30–5.

Famous football alumni: Roy Kramer, an SEC commissioner who preceded Mike Slive, longtime Texas coach Mack Brown, Alabama and Duke coaching legend Wallace Wade and College Football Hall of Famer Lynn Bomar all studied at Vanderbilt.

Emergence of Vanderbilt’s ‘Star V’ primary logo: In 1969, the Commodores first placed their recognizable ‘Star V’ logo on gold helmets, a look that has stood the test of time. There have been years where Vanderbilt strayed away from the ‘Star V’ including the majority of the 1990s, but it returned in 2002 for good. Though the graphic has been updated a bit over the last quarter century, Vanderbilt currently wears it proudly on gamedays on gold, black or white shells. The anchor, a popular alternate graphic, wasn’t adopted until 2004.

Pass-happy Jay Cutler: The program’s all-time leader in several statistical categories including passing yards and touchdowns, Cutler is one of Vanderbilt’s most notable NFL alums now entering his ninth season as a starting quarterback. He holds 14 franchise records for the Chicago Bears. As a senior in 2005, Cutler became the first Commodore to win the SEC Offensive Player of the Year since 1967 and was selected a few months later in the first round. He started all 45 games during his career at Vanderbilt.

First bowl victory: The Commodores’ first bowl win came against Auburn on New Year’s Eve 1955 in the Gator Bowl. Led by quarterback Don Orr, Vanderbilt prevailed, 25-13, as a touchdown underdog in Jacksonville in its first bowl appearance. Vanderbilt won its next bowl game 53 years later against Boston College in the Music City.

10 Hall of Famers: Six former Vanderbilt players and four former coaches are members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Interestingly, halfback Jess Neely was voted in for his lengthy college coaching career post-Commodores, but Neely never coached at Vanderbilt.

Conference championship drought: Vanderbilt’s last league title came in 1923 when the Commodores captured their second straight Southern Conference championship. The ensuing 91-year drought since is one of the longest in college football.

Irby ‘Rabbit’ Curry: Praised for his valor and skills as a quarterback, Curry was a first-team All-Southern quarterback in 1915 and 1916 at Vanderbilt before being killed in combat while piloting a fighter plane above France in 1918. Curry, who served in the 95th Aero Squadron during World War I, was later honored posthumously by the Commodores in 1922 with the field named after him at Dudley Stadium.

Franklin’s era in Nashville: Former coach James Franklin led the Commodores to three consecutive bowl appearances from 2011-13 and won 24 games during his tenure. Before his arrival, Vanderbilt football had appeared in only two postseason games in its history. Two of the Commodores’ four nine-win seasons in program history came under Franklin’s watch.

The night Chris Gaines tackled Tulane: In one of the single-most dominant performances in FBS history, Vanderbilt’s senior linebacker recorded a program-record 37 total tackles during a loss to Tulane in 1987.

70 years between Top 10 wins: Vanderbilt’s 17-6 upset of sixth-ranked South Carolina in 2007 was the program’s first win over a Steve Spurrier-coached team, but more importantly, ended a 70-year drought between victories over Top 10 teams.

Vanderbilt’s all-time leading rusher: Current third-year pro Zac Stacy, a running back for the St. Louis Rams, is the Commodores’ all-time leading rusher with 3,143 yards over an impressive four-year career. Stacy posted the program’s first-ever back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons during his junior and senior campaigns and earned All-SEC honors for his efforts.

‘Dynamite’: Vanderbilt’s fight song was written by student Francis Craig in 1924.

Athletic department disbands: Chancellor Gordon Gee disbanded Vanderbilt’s athletic department in 2003, merging it with the University under the Division of Student Life umbrella.
