NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason likes a challenge, and he sure has one for his debut as the Commodores' defensive coordinator.

He'll try and shut down one of the nation's best offenses a year ago.

Brandon Doughty is back for a sixth year as quarterback at Western Kentucky, and he led the nation throwing for 4,830 yards and 49 touchdowns last season. He threw for five or more touchdowns in five games, including eight in a game at Marshall.
