Vanderbilt hasn't won in Baton Rouge, La., since 1951, when I Love Lucy made its TV debut. The redhead had a nice career, so maybe it's about time the Commodores make a little history, too, in their SEC opener Saturday night at LSU. Can it happen? "The only thing I can say is that we have to go down there anyway, so let's make the most of it," said Vanderbilt head coach Bobby Johnson, whose team is a two-touchdown underdog.
As promised, Vanderbilt unveiled its no-huddle offense with smashing success in last Saturday's 45-0 victory over Western Carolina. The Commodores had 620 total yards and produced their highest single-game rushing total (433) in more than 30 years. They ran 95 plays (70 rushing attempts), had possession for 34:44 and didn't commit a single procedure penalty.
