1908 Vanderbilt Commodores football team

The team's head coach was Dan McGugin, who served his fifth season in that capacity.

1908 was a down year for Vanderbilt with a wealth of sophomores; guided shrewdly by McGugin to its success.

[1] [13] Before Vanderbilt played Michigan, Louis Hasslock had been on duty at Reelfoot Lake with a militia who were to guard against night riders.

When he learned he could be granted a leave of absence if he were to join his football team, he walked a distance of twenty miles through a country infested with night riders, and caught a train at Union City.

On a fake kick, Leach circled Vanderbilt's left end for 60 yards.
