On Saturday, Vanderbilt played its most complete game of the season — as it beat Ole Miss by a score of 38-17.
Running back Ralph Webb accrued 123 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Commodores. Quarterback Kyle Shurmur was highly efficient — going 17-of-30 for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Next week, the Commodores will host in-state rival Tennessee. If Vandy can win this contest, it will become bowl eligible.
Head coach Derek Mason had this to say after the win:
Mason said he invited @TimCorbin to speak to his team this week.
I think it worked.

Derek Mason said beating Ole Miss proves VU’s potential. "You can tell them until you're blue in the face, but they gotta experience it."
