Vanderbilt makes 2 goal-line stands, beats Kentucky 21-17

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Caleb Azubike sacked Patrick Towles on the game's final play. It was a fitting ending to Vanderbilt's 21-17 win over the Kentucky Wildcats as the Commodores defense set the tempo early with two goal-line stands in the first half Saturday. "Those guys have been great all year long at just being able to try to stand up and anchor down," Commodores coach Derek Mason said. "That's who we are. That's what we want to be at Vanderbilt." Mason, in his second year at Vanderbilt (4-6, 2-4 SEC), recorded his second SEC win. He doubles as defensive coordinator and his signature was all over this win. Vanderbilt safety Oren Burks intercepted two passes, returning one for a touchdown and stopping a Kentucky drive in the end zone with the other. "I was determined to get in the end zone," Burks said of the 30-yard return in the second quarter.
