WKU looked to defeat an SEC foe for the second time in three years when the Hilltoppers traveled to Nashville on Saturday to take on Vanderbilt.
Redshirt senior quarterback Mike White was sacked five times and the WKU running backs accumulated just 14 rushing yards in a 31-17 loss. Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Lucky Jackson caught seven passes for 135 yards, but it wasn't enough as the Hilltoppers failed to find the end zone the entire second half.
Vanderbilt's Ralph Webb finished with 104 of the team's 174 rushing yards.
“We just have to stay together and finish games,” Jackson said.
