What advice would you give students to make the most of their four years at Vanderbilt? I believe very fi rmly in the principle of the liberal arts education, which means breadth. This is the last chance you will ever have to be an intellectual tourist. What I advocate is for students to be bold. Take classes that seem very odd and are far outside your comfort zone. If you’re a poet, take astronomy and anthropology and neuro- science. If you’re pre-med, take a fi lm class or a seminar on 17th- century French poetry.

Smith also only took one sack, and the two interceptions were on plays where Smith was hit while throwing. He needs to be more accurate, but the ﬁ nal drive in regulation was a promising start.

RUNNING BACKS: b- In a perfect world, this grade would be an A. If either of the two called-back touchdown runs stood, Warren Norman never would have even been in a position to fumble in overtime. Hypotheticals aside, Norman still played well, as did Zac Stacy, despite taking snaps from the stat-killing “Stallion” formation.

WIDE RECEIVERS: b- The receivers got open, and when Smith was able to deliver a catchable ball, it often resulted in a completion. It sounds simple enough, but a few weeks ago, this was easily the offense’s biggest problem. John Cole had a game-high ﬁ ve catches for 56 yards, while Brandon Barden, Udoh Umoh and Alex Washington all contributed as well. Turner Wimberly’s holding penalty was crucial, however, erasing an 81-yard Norman touchdown run.
