DOSTER’S HUGE PERFORMANCE: 344 ALL-PURPOSE YARDS ESTABLISHES VANDERBILT RECORDS True freshman tailback Kwane Doster compiled one of the finest games in Vanderbilt history during the Commodores’ narrow 45-38 loss at Ole Miss. The Tampa, Florida native accounted for 344 yards of total offense - 243 yards as a kickoff returner and 101 yards as a tailback.

STRICKER CONTINUES UP SEC, VANDERBILT RECEIVING MARKS Senior WR Dan Stricker moved into the Top 20 among Southeastern Conference receivers in career catches with his performance against Ole Miss.

Vanderbilt’s 218.2-yard rushing average is fourth best in the SEC and 23th best in the NCAA.

Vanderbilt committed just two penalties (for 20 yards) against the Rebels. The last time Vanderbilt was flagged just twice came in a 40-16 win over TCU on Sept. 18, 1997.

The balanced Vanderbilt offense posted one of its finest efforts against an SEC foe during the Ole Miss encounter. The unit had 464 yards of total offense (257 yards rushing and 207 yards). Aside from an 542-yard outburst vs. Kentucky last year, it was the Commodores biggest production against an SEC opponent since Oct. 15, 1994 when the team compiled 480 yards in a 43-30 road win at Georgia.
