Vanderbilt obliterates Hawaii in third quarter, wins 63-10

For a brief time, it looked like nothing had been fixed. Hawaii came out of the locker room in Saturday night’s season opener and needed just eight plays and 2:42 of game time to take a 7-0 lead. Vanderbilt’s first two drives resulted in a punt and a promising drive ending on an incomplete fourth-down pass.

Vanderbilt finally got the equalizer late in the first quarter when Rocko Griffin broke a big run to set up a one-yard Mike Wright touchdown pass to a hilariously uncovered Will Sheppard.

And then, on Hawaii’s first play of the ensuing drive, Anfernee Orji made it 14-7 on a scoop and score.

Hawaii would cut Vanderbilt’s margin to 14-10 on its next drive with a 40-yard field goal on a drive…
