Lessons in Vanderbilt Football: Hawaii

McGowan’s night was not just about his kick return TD.In typical Vanderbilt fashion, just when we all thought it would be an easy game, they made us sweat.

Vanderbilt has the same record after 1 game as last season, but the feeling is not the same. Of course, last season they immediately got into a way-too-close game with Elon in Week 1.
