Vanderbilt dominates Austin Peay as Sherfield, McCrary shatter records

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.

Wide receiver Trent Sherfield and quarterback Johnny McCrary provided exactly that. Sherfield erupted for 240 yards, breaking Earl Bennett’s school record of 223 yards set back in 2007. Coming into today, Sherfield had just 6 catches for 116 yards in his career.

McCrary, not to be outdone, had a record night of his own. The quarterback finished 28 of 33 (84.8 percent) passing, breaking the previous record of 81 percent set in 1961.
