What a win for the Vanderbilt Commodores, and for head coach Derek Mason, not only did they upset their rival, Tennessee, but they also became bowl eligible with the win.

Vanderbilt has come a long way since Mason’s first season, and while this season has had some bumps, the Commodores have continued to improve as the season has gone on and will now play in a bowl game for the first time since 2013. The Commodore defense has been the strength of the team throughout the season, but the offense has really come on in the last two weeks since the loss to Missouri. Quarterback Kyle Shurmur has played incredibly, which has allowed the offense to become more versatile and take some of the load off of running back Ralph Webb.

Enjoy this win, Vanderbilt fans, your team is now going bowling.
