COUNTDOWN: Vanderbilt's No. 12 offensive play of the year



Call these the 12 plays of Christmas: In a season in which Vanderbilt needed all the offense it could get, 12 plays helped us become bowl eligible for the first time in 26 years.

Here's No. 12:

12. HAWKINS LOOSENS REBEL FRONT (AT OLE MISS 9/20): With Vanderbilt facing a 10-point deficit in the first quarter and unable to move the ball against the Rebels’ massive defensive line, Jared Hawkins suddenly blasted down the field for 22 yards to the UM08. Three plays later, he took a swing pass from Nickson and rumbled 9 yards for the score.
