Vandy keeps bowl hopes alive, edging Ole Miss 36-29 in OT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The debate over whether or not A.J. Brown caught the ball in the end zone may never end. The Vanderbilt Commodores have no doubt Randall Haynie at least broke up the pass, and he believes he pulled it away for an interception. They know for sure that Joejuan Williams knocked down the next pass to seal a very big victory. Kyle Shurmur hit Kalija Lipscomb with a 5-yard touchdown pass on the first possession in overtime, and Vanderbilt edged Mississippi 36-29 Saturday night to keep their bowl hopes alive for another week. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Lipscomb for tossing the ball in the air after his TD catch gave Ole Miss the ball at the 12. Three plays later, review overturned Jordan Ta'amu 's 8-yard TD pass to A.J. Brown, ruling that Brown did not maintain possession. "I didn't think it was a catch," Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said.
