56 2013 VANDERBILT SPRING GUIDE 2012 GAME RECAP Gamecocks Earns Comeback Victory in Season Opener NASHVILLE – Ninth-ranked South Carolina and coach Steve Spurrier got a big scare to open the season. Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw helped the Gamecocks grind their way past scrappy Vanderbilt. Lattimore ran for two touchdowns and 110 yards in his first game back after tearing his left ACL, and Shaw ran for 92 yards while playing the second half with an injured Game 1 shoulder as No. 9 South Carolina rallied for a 17-13 victory against Vanderbilt on Thursday ug A . 30, 2012 night. Nashville "Maybe it's good for us ...," Spurrier said. "You look at the preseason press we thought we were hot stuff. Then we almost got that stuff beat out of us." But Shaw bruised his right, throwing shoulder late in the first half and missed the first two series of the third quarter before returning. The junior drove the Gamecocks for the go-ahead touchdown and ran 12 yards to the Vandy 1 before rolling in pain in the end zone. Lattimore scored the go-ahead TD on a 1-yard run with 11:25 to go.

Vandy Gets First SEC Road Win in Two Years at Mizzou COLUMBIA, Mo. – A botched Missouri extra-point snap and a bobbled punt attempt that led to a safety helped Vanderbilt beat Missouri 19-15 Saturday night, depriving the former Big 12 school of its first Southeastern Conference win. Zac Stacy rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries for Vanderbilt (2-3, 1-2), which earned its first conference win. Jordan Rodgers was 14 of 24 for 182 yards and one Game 5 interception. Oct. 6, 2012 Missouri (3-3, 0-3) took an early 6-0 lead and kept Vanderbilt from gaining a first down Columbia, Mo. until nearly nine minutes into the second quarter. Missouri couldn't muster much offense after an early injury to quarterback James Franklin, who sprained his left knee on a first-quarter run and didn't return. Vanderbilt's first points of the game came when Missouri punter Trey Barrow couldn't handle a snap while standing in the back of Missouri's end zone, with the ball rolling out the back. A 5-yard Stacy run late in the second half gave the Commodores a 9-6 lead they wouldn't relinquish.

2013 VANDERBILT SPRING GUIDE 61 2012 GAME RECAP Driskel, Gators Prove Too Much for Commodores NASHVILLE – No one will overlook Jeff Driskel again, not after the Florida quarterback ran the ball better than even Tim Tebow. Driskel ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns, and the fourth- ranked Gators beat Vanderbilt 31-17 on Saturday night to stay unde- feated going into their big showdown with No. 3 South Carolina. Driskel ran only 11 times, and the sophomore set the Florida record for yards rushing by a quarterback, topping Game 6 Tebow's 166 yards against Mississippi in 2007 Oct. 13, 2012 on 27 carries. Nashville Vanderbilt watched Gators running back Mike Gillislee so closely that Driskel didn't even think the Commodores laid a hand on him on any of his TD runs. The Gators (6-0, 5-0 SEC) finished off their last SEC road trip outside of the state of Florida with their 22nd straight win over Vanderbilt. Florida, which rallied in the second half to beat Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU already this season, took control early this time.

Commodores Top Auburn; Stacy Breaks Rushing Record NASHVILLE – Luckily for Zac Stacy, he won't be remembered for his last carry on a record-setting day. Vanderbilt overcame a fourth-quarter fumble by its senior running back, who rushed for 169 yards and a go-ahead touchdown in a 17-13 victory over Auburn on Saturday. Stacy had 27 carries and became the school's all-time rushing leader but lost the ball on his final rush, Game 7 allowing the Tigers (1-6, 0-5 Southeastern Oct. 20, 2012 Conference) to take over at their 32-yard line with 2:24 left. Nashville Vanderbilt (3-4, 2-3) responded by smoth- ering the SEC's worst-scoring offense. Clint Moseley overshot an open Sammie Coates on fourth-and-13 with 52 seconds remaining.

2013 VANDERBILT SPRING GUIDE 65 2012 GAME RECAP Commodores Rally from 17-point Deficit to Down Rebels OXFORD, Miss. – It was a clutch moment that has so often flummoxed Vanderbilt's football program for the better part of its history. But in yet another piece of mounting evidence that the Commodores are a SEC program on the rise, Jordan Rodgers calmly surveyed the field and found Chris Boyd wide open for a 26-yard touchdown pass with 52 seconds remaining to give Vanderbilt a 27-26 victory over Mississippi on Saturday night. It ended a thrilling comeback for the Game 10 Commodores (6-4, 3-3 SEC), who trailed 23-6 Nov. 10, 2012 early in the third quarter but rallied for their Oxford, Miss. fourth straight victory. Now the postseason is in Vanderbilt's future - again. The Commodores are poised to go to their second straight bowl game for the first time in school history. Second-year coach James Franklin has engineered the quick turnaround, turning Vanderbilt into an SEC threat nearly overnight. "I'm looking forward to the day when I don't have to say first ever, because we want this to be the culture at Vanderbilt. A culture of winning," Franklin said. "Our coaches and players believe it."
