421, thats how many total yards of offense Georgia had. 171, that is how many total yards of offense Vanderbilt had. Would you believe Vanderbilt won this game?

Congrats go to Derek Mason and the Commodores, they finally got a signature win and defeated a heavy weight of the SEC East. Vanderbilt’s star of the game was linebacker Zach Cunningham, who had an incredible 19 total tackles in the game. The offense made it count when it mattered most in the 4th quarter, as the Commodores had lost the lead and ended up getting it back and getting the win. The Commodore defense was the star of the day, deploying a bend but don’t break defense for the matchup. Georgia may have had 421 yards of offense but they pretty much never capitalized on most of their drives.

Vanderbilt stays in contention for a bowl with this huge win that they desperately needed.

Next game: October 22, 2016, vs Tennessee State, 7:30pm ET ESPNU
