Vanderbilt football finally got away from Top 15 opposition and took advantage of the weaker opponent to get a big SEC road win. Arkansas may not be very good (see: very bad) but putting up 45 points against any SEC team is a good day for the Commodores. The record entering the game was 3-5, so they could only slip up once in the final 4 games. The Razorbacks seemed to be the easiest opposition left, too. Losing would have almost certainly ended any bowl hopes. Instead, the Commodores may have flashed enough promise that December football may be in play.
