Led by head coach Bobby Johnson in his 4th year, the Commodores won their first four games of the season but won just one further game the rest of the year.

Also on the team: Jonathan Goff, Thomas Welch and Chris Williams.

Vanderbilt then proceeded to drop its next five games and fall out of bowl eligibility.

Positively, the season ended on a high-note as Vanderbilt recorded its first win over the rival Tennessee Volunteers since 1982 and their first win at Tennessee's Neyland Stadium since 1975 by defeating the Volunteers 28-24 on November 19.

Vanderbilt's historic victory eliminated Tennessee from bowl eligibility.
