Alas, the Commodores could not continue their trend of competitive (if not winning) SEC play and suffered a nasty 25-0 shutout loss at the hands of the Aggies on Saturday night.
While the Vanderbilt defense managed to hold the Aggies to only one touchdown, a record-tying series of field goals from A&M’s kicker put the visiting school far ahead of the the Commodores. Vanderbilt’s offense was unable to post any points, as it continued to be plagued by incompletions, sacks and multiple other issues.
Here are five key moments from the shutout loss (and last home game of the season):
