Editor’s note: Saturday Down South has selected an all-decade offensive and defensive team for all 14 SEC programs.

The latter part of the decade saw Vanderbilt fans enjoy some of the best performances in recent memory, if ever, from the offensive backfield.

QB Kyle Shurmur and RB Ralph Webb set a boatload of program records and even made splashes in the SEC record books.

The Vanderbilt program went to 2 bowl games and made memories not seen since the Jordan Rodgers/Austyn Carta-Samuels days of 9-win seasons under James Franklin.

This is a decade that also saw an all-time receiver in Jordan Matthews, who made headlines around the SEC, and a host of offensive linemen who almost all had more than a dozen consecutive game starting streaks.

Here’s the All-Decade Team on offense for Vanderbilt:

Quarterback: Kyle Shurmur

Jay Cutler had more NFL success, but in college? Shurmur might be best Vandy has had in any decade. Shurmur finished as Vanderbilt’s all-time leader in virtually every passing category. As a senior in 2018, he completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 3,130 yards and 24 touchdowns. In SEC play, Shurmur threw 15 touchdowns, 2nd-most in the league and just 3 interceptions, 2nd-fewest in the league.

In his career, Shurmur had 64 touchdown passes, 8,865 passing yards, 723 pass completions and 1,273 pass attempts. Most notably, he became the first Vanderbilt quarterback to have 3 wins over Tennessee since the 1920s.

Backup: Jordan Rodgers: In 2012, Rodgers was the first quarterback in team history to lead the Commodores to back-to-back postseason bowl appearances. His season passing totals: 191 completions, 2,539 yards and 15 touchdowns are in the top 10 single-season totals ever by a Vanderbilt QB.

Running back: Ralph Webb

The best Vanderbilt running back ever, Webb set records every season, including Vandy’s career rushing total of 4,178 yards, which ranks No. 6 all-time among SEC running backs. His other school records include single-season rushing yards (1,283), rushing yards by a junior (1,283), rushing yards by a sophomore (1,152) and rushing yards by a freshman (907).

Backup: Zac Stacy: Before Webb, Stacy was the most decorated back to play for the Commodores. In 2012, he set the team career record with 3,143 rushing yards and 30 rushing touchdowns. Stacy rushed for more than 100 yards in 4 games that season and was named MVP honors of the Music City Bowl win over North Carolina State.

Wide receiver: Jordan Matthews

A 2-time All-SEC selection by the coaches and media, he ended his career holding almost every Vanderbilt career and single-season receiving mark. As a senior, he set an SEC record with 112 catches and his receiving yardage total of 1,477 yards was the 3rd-highest total by an SEC receiver. His career marks of 262 catches and 3,759 yards are SEC records. Matthews was a key player on back-to-back 9-win teams at Vanderbilt, the first time the program did that in 100 years.

Backup: Kalija Lipscomb: Lipscomb is easily a top 10 receiver in Vanderbilt history, and arguably top 5. His 194 career catches are 5th all-time at Vanderbilt, and 2,313 receiving yards are 8th. His 21 touchdown catches are tied for 2nd all-time at Vanderbilt.

Tight end: Steven Scheu

Among his awards, are a Mackey Watch List honor, a Wuerffel Trophy candidate and in 2014, an Associated Press All-SEC tight end selection. His 525 receiving yards that season were the most by a Commodore tight end since 1983. He also had more catches (39) than any other SEC tight end, and ranked second in yardage.

Backup: Jared Pinkney: During his junior season in 2018, Pinkey was an AP All-SEC second team, made the John Mackey Award watch list, and was a 2-time John Mackey Tight End of the Week. He made 50 receptions, 774 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. He might be most remembered for a season-high 111 receiving yards and a touchdown on 5 catches at Notre Dame.

Offensive line: Wesley Johnson

One of the best Vanderbilt offensive linemen, Johnson was named postseason 1st-team All-SEC by coaches and 2nd-team All-SEC in 2013 by Associated Press writers. Johnson finished the season by making his 51st consecutive start against Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl, which was the most career starts in Vanderbilt history and ranked as the longest active games started streak in the SEC.

Backup: Saige Young: A multi-year starter who was part of a unit in 2017 that only allowed 17 sacks, and in 2018, helped Ke’Shawn Vaughn become team’s 6th back to top 1,000 rushing yards and produce the 2nd-highest rushing total (1,244 yards) in team history.

Offensive line: Will Holden

Was named a 2nd-team All-SEC pick in 2016 by the coaches. He started 37 consecutive games at tackle. He was the left tackle for almost every snap on Kyle Shurmur’s blindside. Against Ole Miss in 2016, he had key blocks on 3 touchdowns and was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Backup: Devin Cochran: Started 23 games in 2017 and 2018, and in 2018, made 18 pancake blocks, 20 domination blocks and was part of an offensive line that helped Ke’Shawn Vaughn rush for 1,243 yards, 2nd-highest season total in team history.

Offensive line: Bruno Reagan

If you want dependability, look no further than Reagan, who had a 40-game starting streak. As a senior in 2018, Reagan started the first 5 games at right guard, then moved to center for the final 8. Overall, he played more than 98 percent of Vanderbilt’s offensive plays. In 2017, he started 15 consecutive games at guard entering the season, then became the team’s starting center as a 4th-year junior.

Backup: Andrew Jelks: Injuries cut short his career, but not before Jelks started all 12 games at left tackle in 2014. At one point started 21 consecutive games on the offensive front.

Offensive line: Ryan Seymour

Started at left tackle in 2011, and at right tackle in 2010. In 2011, Seymour made 11 starts on the offensive line, and against Army in 2011, he was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his performance at left guard as Commodores rushed for 344 yards and did not allow a sack.

Backup: Jake Bernstein: The pancake machine, Bernstein in 2014, made twice as many pancake blocks (59) as any other offensive linemen. In 2015, Bernstein started all 12 games at left guard as a fifth-year senior, ran his consecutive starts streak to 26. He led the offensive front with 63 pancake blocks during the season.

Offensive line: Justin Skule

Skule started every game in 2018, and had a consecutive starting streak to 40. As a senior, Skule started every game at left tackle, and pitched in 9 pancake blocks and 25 domination blocks. In 2017, Skule made 19 domination blocks and was an anchor on an offensive line that allowed just 19 quarterback sacks.

Backup: Joe Townsend: In 2014, Townsend was the team’s offensive captain as a third-year starting center. He made 12 straight starts, running consecutive starts streak to team-high 32 games. He made 29 pancake blocks and 14 domination blocks.
