Genuine improvements show as Dores steamroll Austin Peay 47-7

Trent Sherfield (10) runs after a catch during Vanderbilt's 47-7 win against Austin Peay September 19, 2015 at Vanderbilt Stadium Nashville, TN. Sherfield broke Earl Bennett's school receiving record with 240 yards.

The defense was quicker, smarter and tougher. The offense made its fair share of mistakes, but the personnel was more settled, and they had their moments. The Commodores were not getting the results they wanted, but they were playing more experienced and proven teams and often holding our own.

This was a game that Vanderbilt should have and did win, but it also served as validation for the hard work that Coach Mason and the team put in every day.
