Western Kentucky hung with the Commodores for much of this game, but ultimately offensive ineffectiveness in the second half doomed the Tops to their fourth loss of the year.
Vandy started the game with a great 11 play, 75-yard drive that ended in a short touchdown pass from Kyle Shurmur to Trent Sherfield. WKU tied it up with a trick play where receiver Nacarius Fant hit Quinton Baker on a 25 yard touchdown pass two possessions later. Ralph Webb put Vandy back on top, however, on the very next drive.
