This only add to it.
Vanderbilt last went 3-0 in 2011 under first-year coach James Franklin before going on to consecutive 9-4 seasons. Now, the Commodores have a chance to get back on that level under coach Derek Mason.
Vanderbilt hosts No. 18 Kansas State on Saturday with a chance to score that big nonconference victory. The Commodores should like their chances, too. The rush defense is solid at ninth in the FBS (54.0 yards per game).
Vandy quarterback Kyle Shurmur has been flawless with 498 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions through two games. Shurmur is one of five quarterbacks in the FBS with at least six touchdown passes who is averaging more than 10 yards per passing attempt. Ole Miss' Shea Patterson, Missouri's Drew Lock, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph are the others.
Kansas State quarterback Jesse Ertz (511 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions) takes care of the ball, too. This will be a fun, defensive, low-scoring game. That's why the over/under is at 48.5. Take the under.
