Vanderbilt's top plays of the season — adjusted for the Music City Bowl
Before Vanderbilt's Music City Bowl victory, we gave you the Commodores' top 12 plays of the season on offense, defense and special teams. Well, time to do some updating.
We've added six plays from the Boston College game:
• Offense (2): Larry Smith's pass to George Smith that set up the game-winning field goal.
• Offense (8): Larry Smith's 51-yard bomb to Sean Walker in the first quarter.
• Defense (3): Myron Lewis' interception to end the game.
• Special teams (1): Brett Upson's amazing coffin corner punt that bounced off an Eagle returner's leg and was recovered in the end zone by true freshman Sean Richardson (see photo above).
• Special teams (2): Bryant Hahnfeldt's game-winning field goal.
• Special teams (5): Brett Upson's 43-yard punt late in the third quarter that was downed on the BC 3 yard line.
With these six plays replacing other plays, the Auburn game still holds the most big plays for the Commodores with eight, followed by six big plays apiece in the Boston College, South Carolina and Ole Miss games. The Kentucky game had five big plays, Rice four and Miami (Ohio) one.
