Opponent preview: Vanderbilt’s special teams
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State hosts the Vanderbilt Commodores Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT inside Davis Wade Stadium for its 82nd homecoming football game.
The 0-4 Commodores have struggled this year, and their special teams are no exception.
Vanderbilt junior kicker/punter Pierson Cooke is last in the nation in field goals, making just one of his four attempts, including two missed attempts between 20 and 29 yards. His one made field goal was a 33-yarder. Cooke has made all three of his extra-point attempts, while junior kicker Wes Farley has also made all three of his extra-point attempts.
