GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Vanderbilt’s rushing offense vs. Ole Miss’s run defense. The Commodores average 4.8 per rush while the Rebels give up 4.9 per carry. Vanderbilt had a tough time stopping Ole Miss’s passing attack last year; if the Commodores can control tempo with RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn, it goes a long way towards winning.
DRAFT SLANT
–RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn continues to play at a high level. On Saturday, the junior had the two longest runs against Missouri all year. He averages 7.5 yards per carry and has 994 yards from scrimmage, including 11 touchdowns. He had a 65-yard touchdown run on the game’s first drive.
ROSTER REPORT:
–CB Donovan Sheffield is listed first on the depth chart this week after missing the Missouri game and part of the Arkansas game two weeks before that.
–CB B.J. Anderson, a true freshman who didn’t play the first half of the season, is now listed as a second team corner.
–OL Bruno Reagan is listed as the starting center again this week.
