NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Vanderbilt Commodores have a black bowling ball with a star V to celebrate earning a bowl berth on the field.The bragging rights that go with a very big win over their in-state rival only makes the victory that much sweeter.Kyle Shurmur threw for a career-high 416 yards, and Vanderbilt scored the final 21 points in an upset of No. 24 Tennessee 45-34 Saturday night that erased any doubts the Commodores belong in a bowl.The Commodores (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) earned a bowl berth for the first time since 2013 thanks to their Academic Progress Rate (APR) score before kickoff. Then they went out and turned in the best offensive performance yet in picking up their sixth win this year and improving coach Derek Masons best record in his third season.Thats the way we wanted it, Mason said. We wanted a victory. At the end of the day, we didnt want to sneak in the back door. We wanted to kick in the door and walk through the front door.Vanderbilt scored its most points against an SEC opponent since scoring 49 against Mississippi State on Sept. 25, 1971. The Commodores outgained Tennessee 608-516 in beating the Vols for the third time in five seasons.Oh, its definitely important to show people that were not just going to get in off the APR, Vandy running back Ralph Webb said with his hand resting on the bowling ball. We actually play football, and were a good football team.Tennessee (8-4, 4-4) led 31-24 at halftime after taking a 21-7 lead to open the game. Then the Commodores held the Vols to a field goal in the second half with Aaron Medley banging a 37-yard field goal off the right upright with 6:46 left.Khari Blasingame scored on a 12-yard TD run late in the third quarter, then Vanderbilt linebacker Zach Cunningham hit and stripped Joshua Dobbs of the ball at the end of the third quarter, forcing Tennessees second turnover of the game. That set up a 3-yard TD run by Darrius Sims with 12:15 left that gave Vanderbilt its first lead of the game at 38-34.Alvin Kamara scored three touchdowns for Tennessee within the first 17 minutes as the Vols jumped out to a 21-7 lead. Dobbs completed his first 11 passes and finished with 31 of 34 for 340 yards passing and two TDs.The Volunteers had been gashed on the ground badly, giving up more than 400 yards in each of the past two games. This time, Shurmur picked them apart with the fifth best passing performance in Vanderbilt history to help the Commodores match Tennessees high-powered offense.They just out-executed us, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.Webb, who became Vandys all-time leading scorer in the second quarter , finished off the scoring with a 28-yard TD run with 4:06 left. Webb finished with 114 yards rushing and was carried off the field by teammates.THE TAKEAWAYTennessee: The Vols got the fast start they had missed so often this season only to struggle in the second half. They came into this game with a chance at a Sugar Bowl berth needing Auburn to lose to Alabama in the Iron Bowl. That happened. Before they could wait to see if Florida lost to Florida State, the Vols couldnt help themselves by beating Vanderbilt. That leaves them waiting to see just which bowl they will be playing.Vanderbilt: The Commodores already had a road win at Georgia this season, but this easily counts as Masons biggest win yet to quiet questions about their program as they prepare to go bowling. Mason celebrated by dancing on the field . Then he went over in front of a group of Tennessee fans and chanted, This is Nashville! over and over before he turned and went back out onto the field.QUOTABLETheres no need to say anything for 365 days, Vanderbilt defensive lineman Adam Butler said. We own Tennessee.QUOTABLE IIVols junior defensive end Derek Barnett tied the late Reggie White for the most sacks in school history with 32. He didnt want to talk about that after the loss. Its unacceptable and Im embarrassed. When I step on the field, I play to win. Records are records. I dont play this game for records, I play this game to get victories with my teammates.OFFENSIVE EXPLOSIONTennessee finished with 58 total touchdowns this season, the most since a program-best 62 in 1993. ... Vanderbilt countered with Webb, Shurmur and a pair of wide receivers over 100 yards receiving. Trent Sherfield had nine catches for 184 yards, while Caleb Scott had four for 117. Shurmur had the most yards passing since Chris Nickson had 446 yards in 2006.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Volunteers had just moved back into the Top 25 after three straight wins.

SEPANG, Malaysia -- Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton put himself in the best possible position to wrest back the lead in the Formula One drivers championship by claiming pole position for the Malaysian Grand Prix on Saturday.Hamilton beat his teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg by four tenths of a second in qualifying.The British driver headed Mercedes first-ever front-row lockout in Malaysia and set a new Formula One lap record at the Sepang International Circuit with a time of 1 minute, 32.850 seconds.While Hamilton has been unconvincing in race starts this season, his impressive performance Saturday should provide a timely confidence boost after Rosbergs hat trick of race victories in the preceding races.Today the car felt fantastic, I really enjoyed the lap, Hamilton said. It could have been faster.I dont feel anything is going to stop us (in the race). As a team we have great pace and if you look at the last race, we had pretty good starts and we continuously work on that. Thats not something Im going to let in my mind. Im thinking of getting a launch off the grid and the car feels really good on the long runs.Rosberg was marginally off Hamiltons pace throughout his last flying lap and a wobble on the final corner put paid to his pole chances. He denied that he went out on that last lap only targeting second, given Hamiltons superb time.Of course I was going for pole, what else would I be doing out there? Rosberg said. It would have been close but I made a mistake going into the last corner.Second place, I have to live with that now, it doesnt mean aa victory is not possible tomorrow.dddddddddddd. Im still optimistic.Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo qualified third and fourth respectively, ahead of the Ferrari pair of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen.Force India drivers Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg were seventh and eighth, followed by McLarens Jenson Button ninth for his 300th F1 start, and Felipe Massa of Williams 10th.While Mercedes will be expected to convert its front row spots into a race win -- the team has won all but one race this season, with the exception being caused by a collision between its two drivers -- Red Bull and Ferrari had both shown strong race pace in practice, equal to that of the Mercedes.Weve made changes after Singapore and it seemed to work, Verstappen said. The long run pace looked promising and Im very pleased to qualify behind the Mercedes cars.Race strategy is not expected to be significant on Sunday, with two pitstops and long stints on the medium and hard tires expected by all runners due to the low levels of tire degradation on the very smooth new surface.I dont think its going to be too exciting strategy-wise because the tires are pretty similar, Rosberg said. I dont think itll be such a deciding factor.Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso made no serious attempt to get out of the Q1 qualifying period due to a slew of grid penalties for installing all new engine parts, and was going to start last regardless. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
