BUILDING THE BRAND
"Anchor Down" is fast becoming a standard greeting for fans. Graphics with the slogan are now common throughout McGugin Center.
Construction crews are expecting to put the finishing touches on a spacious Indoor Practice Facility this October. It is part of a new, on-campus multi-purpose facility. The $31 million project, which includes a regulation-size football field, should be available to James Franklin's team for the final month of the regular season. Vanderbilt track and cross country teams also are expected to have access to the facility's 300-meter track by November. University and athletics administrators also are studying future projects that will enhance experiences for both Vanderbilt student-athletes and fans. The next project officials want to address is arenovation of the athletic training facilities in McGugin Center, with a goal of creating a stateof-the-art facility to physically treat Vanderbilt student-athletes. A major improvement to Vanderbilt Stadium also is being evaluated.

Commodores in the pros
CHRIS WILLIAMS
The former first round pick looks to lock down a starting job in St. Louis after re-signing in the offseason with the Rams.
EARL BENNETT
Bennett has accumulated 153 catches and more than 2,000 receiving yards during a five-year career with the Chicago Bears.
Former Commodores Enjoying PRO CAREERS Fifteen former Vanderbilt standouts, including five from the 2012 roster, are currently signed with National Football League teams looking to expand or begin pro careers.

'Dores in the NFL
Zac Stacy participates in agility and position drills at the 2013 NFL Combine.
Stacy Displays Skills at NFL CombiNe Zac Stacy, the most productive runner in Vanderbilt history, turned in one of the most impressive performances of any running back at the 2013 NFL Combine.

several competitions at the Combine, including the 225-lb. bench press, 40yard dash, broad jump, 3-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle. Stacy's 27 repetitions in the bench press and 6.7 clocking in the 3-cone drill were among the top four efforts among running backs. Stacy was drafted by the St. Louis Rams.

commodores in the pros
CASEY HAYWARD
Selected in the second round by Green Bay, Hayward was sensational as a rookie cornerback in 2012. Hayward paced all rookies and ranked fifth in the NFL with six interceptions while claiming Rod Woodson's former cornerback role in the Packer secondary. Hayward finished third in the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year vote.
JAY CUTLER
Cutler is 34-22 as the Bears' starting quarterback and ranks second to Hall of Famer Sid Luckman in career passing yards and touchdowns among Chicago quarterbacks. Cutler, who topped all NFL QBs last year with a fourth-quarter passer rating of 114.7, has passed for 21,316 yards and 136 touchdowns during a seven-year career.
PRO DAY Serves as Showcase For Seniors In the last two years, eight Commodore seniors who did not participate in the NFL Combine used Vanderbilt's Pro Day as their avenue into pro football. Since arriving on campus, Director of Performance Enhancement Dwight Galt has lived up to his well-earned reputation for producing topflight performers in strength and agility tests used by NFL scouts to evaluate prospects. In late March, four former Commodores used the Pro Day activity to impress scouts enough to earn a rookie free agent deal with NFL clubs: quarterback Jordan Rodgers, defensive tackle Rob Lohr, defensive back Trey Wilson and punter Richard Kent.

vanderbilt University
Scenic URBAN Campus, Top-Flight education Located in the popular Midtown district of Nashville, Vanderbilt is regarded among the nation's finest universities. The private research university enrolled 6,796 undergraduate and 5,949 postgraduate students last year. Those students came from all 50 states and around the globe. The university was founded 140 years ago when magnate Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt provided an initial endowment. Vanderbilt is a charter member of the 80-year-old Southeastern Conference, and is the only private school among its 14-member universities. Vanderbilt is considered among the top universities in America. In its popular annual "Best Colleges" edition, U.S. News & World Report most recently ranked Vanderbilt No. 17 among all national universities and No. 2 among schools located in the Southeast. The campus is just southwest of downtown Nashville on 330 pristine acres that are designated as a national arboretum. Two areas of campus closed to vehicles – the Peabody campus and the collection of academic buildings surrounding Kirkland Hall that form the original campus – are frequently named among the South's most beautiful college environments. Though located within walking distance of downtown activities, the quality of Vanderbilt life is reflected in much smaller, less public ways – running into friends while walking on campus, researching papers or grabbing a late-night snack with friends, attending an athletic event, or having dinner at a professor’s home. Most Vanderbilt undergraduates live on campus during their time at the university. More than 30 residential halls dot the campus, ranging from the four towers off West End Avenue to The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons. In 2014, the university will add the stunning Kissam College Halls to its residential communities. Vanderbilt offers numerous degrees in four undergraduate colleges: the College of Arts and Science, Peabody College, School of Engineering and Blair School of Music.

Nashville: America's New "it" CitY
Entering their 14th year in Nashville, the Tennessee Titans compete in the AFC South.
NaSHVILLE: Offers Plenty of Sports Nashville is one of the South's top cities for sports enthusiasts. On the collegiate scene, Vanderbilt gives the city exposure to SEC competition and superb athletic events. Nashville also is home to two successful pro teams: the NFL's Titans and the NHL's Predators. They play downtown at LP Field and Bridgestone Arena, respectively. The arena will host the SEC men's basketball tourney in 2015, 2016 and 2019, and the 2014 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four. The venue is expected to also host early-round action of the NCAA men's tourney in coming years.
Music City Popularity SoarS Vanderbilt's vibrant hometown of Nashville is one of the fastest-growing cities and visitor destinations in the United States. Vanderbilt students, faculty, staff and visitors cite Music City as one of the leading perks of the university, which is located in the bustling Midtown district about two miles from an exciting and welcoming downtown. Ranked No. 3 in Travel+Leisure's Favorite Cities poll, Nashville proudly exudes all of the charm and hospitality one expects from a grand Southern capital city with the amenities expected in the largest destinations. The secret is out on Nashville and its metro population of 1.6 million. Magazines and national newspapers rave about the city's diversity in attractions, accommodation, niche districts and growing food reputation. It's become, according to multiple travel publications, a must-see destination. Of course, ABC's popular song-filled drama "Nashville" hasn't hindered the soaring popularity.
MUSIC CITY
The new Music City Center (above) is a remarkable complex, covering 15 acres near Bridgestone Arena. Nashville enjoys a diverse and youthful popultion, unique neighborhoods and parks, and an abundance of entertainment districts. Nashville also ranks among the nation's top cities for career opportunity and new businesses. Nashville also welcomes its newest downtown attraction, the massive convention-oriented Music City Center, which is sure to result in more visitors and downtown growth.
As Nashville grows, so does its music culture and heritage. Tagged with "America's best music scene" by Rolling Stone, the city is home to musicians ranging from the Black Keys and Young Buck to Ke$ha, Taylor Swift and Jack White. This summer, Bridgestone Arena will host numerous top tours, including Beyonce, Taylor Swift (middle), Lil Wayne and the Eagles. Many acts, including Kayne West (left) and the Dave Matthews Band, have performed recenty on campus. Still others, such as Lenny Kravitz (right), make sure Nashville is on their schedule. The next generation of top bands and musicians play an array of small clubs around Music City, many within blocks of the Nashville campus. 14

The Southeastern Conference
LEAGUE WITHOUT PEER
Vanderbilt is a charter member of the 14-team SEC. During the last decade, the SEC has experienced success that is unparalleled in college football history.
• Remarkably, SEC teams have captured the last seven BCS national championships. During that time, the SEC’s average margin of victory in BCS title games is 17 points. • Since the BCS started in 1998, the SEC owns nine titles, seven more than any other conference. Even more impressively, SEC teams are 9-0 in title games. • Since 2006, the SEC has posted a 10-4 record in BCS bowl games, more wins and a higher winning percentage (.750) than any other conference.
• In 2012, 257 former SEC players were on NFL rosters. That's more than any other conference. Eight of those players were former Vanderbilt standouts.
• SEC teams were 54-11 (.831) in non-league play last year, the highest percentage among FBS conferences.
• In the 2013 NFL Draft, 63 former SEC players were selected, a modern record for the draft and more than double any other conference. In fact, the SEC East alone had more picks (32) than any other conference.
• Four of the last six Heisman Trophy winners have come from SEC schools. In recent years, top SEC players have walked away with virtually every other significant postseason award.
• The SEC produced 11 first round picks in the 2013 Draft, tying a record from 2007. Two former Vanderbilt standouts, Jay Cutler and Chris Williams, have been selected in the first round since 2006.
THE Commodores on NATIONAL TELEVISION Vanderbilt is again part of the Southeastern Conference's unmatched national TV package. On Aug. 29, the Commodores will participate in the opening night of ESPN's 2013 coverage with a primetime home game against Ole Miss. Every Commodore game is available on television due to national contracts between the SEC and CBS Sports and ESPN, and regional packages with Comcast Sports Southeast and FOX. Vanderbilt's conference victories last year over Ole Miss and Kentucky were among four Commodore games aired on the SEC Network.
Annually, SEC games on CBS and ESPN channels are among the most watched on the college schedule. Vanderbilt games also bring outstanding audiences. In 2011, a Vanderbilt game was ESPNU's highest rated primetime college football game of the year.

VANDERBILT Outlook
Franklin's ThirD Year: Continued IMPRoVEMENT The Vanderbilt Commodores return 17 starters and 41 letterwinners for the 2013 season. The returnees include eight starters and 18 letterwinners on offense, seven starters and 21 letterwinners on defense, and two of three specialists. Vanderbilt looks to improve off a 2012 campaign that featured second-year Head Coach James Franklin guiding the Commodores to a 9-4 overall record capped by a 38-24 victory over N.C. State in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. The squad tied a school record for both single-season wins and SEC victories en route to securing a Top 25 final ranking and the first back-to-back postseason bowl appearances in program history. Offensively, the 2012 Commodores produced more points than any Vanderbilt squad since 1916. On defense, the Commodores ranked among the NCAA Top 20 in numerous categories and limited opponents to the lowest scoring average in more than a decade. Special teams also ranked among the nation's best, with placekicker Carey Spear and punter Richard Kent earning All-SEC honors. The Commodore offense, which averaged 40.1 more yards in 2012 than the previous year, features the veteran wide receiver tandem of Jordan Matthews and Chris Boyd, who amassed 2,097 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in 2012. Three backs with productive resumes – Wesley Tate, Brian Kimbrow and Jerron Seymour – will step in to fill the void left by two-time All-SEC recipient Zac Stacy. Senior Austyn Carta-Samuels, a two-year starter in the Mountain West Conference prior to transferring to Vanderbilt, is pushing to replace Jordan Rodgers at quarterback. The offensive line features 16
four returning starters, including All-SEC candidate Wesley Johnson. The defense returns six of its top seven tacklers from last year. The secondary is loaded with talented veterans, including cornerback Andre Hal and safeties Kenny Ladler and Javon Marshall.

QUARTERBACKS
Starters back: 1 Letterwinners: 6 Despite the graduation of two-time All-Southeastern Conference running back Zac Stacy and two-year starting quarterback Jordan Rodgers, the Commodores have several talented players ready to step forward in the offensive backfield. At quarterback, four prospects topped by redshirt senior Austyn CartaSamuels will enter preseason camp competing for the starting role in Vanderbilt's opener against Ole Miss. Likewise, at least four contenders are hoping to secure the tailback vacancy left by Stacy's departure. Though Carta-Samuels has started just one game at Vanderbilt, he was a two-year starter at Wyoming, guided the Cowboys to a bowl win and was the 2010 Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year. He came out of spring drills with an edge over his competition, giving the offense a strong-armed veteran at the quarterback role. Redshirt sophomore Josh Grady, redshirt freshman Patton Robinette and true freshman Johnny McCrary are expected to provide strong competition for Carta-Samuels. Grady is a dual-threat prospect who moved to quarterback in Spring Practice after participating as a wide receiver last year. Robinette showed mobility, thorough knowledge of the offense, and an accurate arm during the spring. McCrary displayed plenty of athleticism and arm strength throughout spring practice.

Collectively, Matthews and Krause have enjoyed 48 career starts at wide receiver. Matthews (left) is coming off the finest season ever accomplished by a Commodore receiver. Krause has become one of the top punt returners in team history.
Receiving Corps Starters back: 4 Letterwinners: 8 The Commodores return arguably their impressive receiver corps in program history, paced by the Southeastern Conference's most potent duos at wide receiver. Second-year coach Josh Gattis returns the team's top three wideouts for a second straight year. Tight ends mentor Charles Bankins also has multiple letterwinners back. Both coaches have newcomers on the roster ready to make their case for playing roles. Leading the Commodore returnees at wide receiver are senior Jordan Matthews, a preseason Biletnikoff Award candidate and consensus All-SEC pick, and redshirt junior Chris Boyd. Together, the MatthewsBoyd tandem has combined for 231 catches, 3,537 receiving yards and 31 touchdowns. They were the SEC's No. 1 duo last year, setting a team record with 2,097 combined receiving yards. Matthews is on pace to challenge several SEC career records. Remarkably, Boyd is ahead of Matthews' pace through two years. Vanderbilt also returns a third multiple-year starter at wide receiver in senior Jonathan Krause. The team's top punt returner, Krause has 56 career receptions. Redshirt junior Trent Pruitt could easily play their way into roles this fall. The staff also signed five talented wide receivers last February: Carlos Burse, Jordan Cunningham, Gerald Perry, Latevius Rayford and DeAndre Woods. 18

OFFENSIVE LINE Starters back: 5 Letterwinners: 6 The Commodores return an offensive line that features six veterans with starting experience and a corps of talented redshirt freshmen eager to begin their collegiate careers. In 2012, Herb Hand's line helped Vanderbilt produce its most potent offense of the modern era. The unit's 30.0-point scoring average is the highest single-season average since the mid-1910s. The 379.7-yard total offense average was 40 yards more than the previous year, and the fourth highest by a Commodore offense since the 1940s.

In 2012, Johnson didn't allow a single quarterback sack while starting at both left and right tackle. Redshirt junior Andrew Bridges, who spent the offseason adding bulk, is back to compete for the tackle role across from Johnson. The staff will need to replace two starting guards that graduated, Seattle draftee Ryan Seymour and Josh Jelesky. Two juniors, Spencer Pulley and Joe Townsend, and redshirt sophomore Jake Bernstein were effective interior starters in 2012. Pulley and Townsend both started at center while Bernstein impressed as a physical presence while starting multiple games at both guard positions. Redshirt junior Chase White adds quality depth, with game experience at guard and tackle. Senior Ryan Brockway also provides depth at guard. At the conclusion of spring drills, redshirt freshmen Barrett Gouger and Andrew Jelks were contending for starting roles at guard and tackle, respectively. Both are big, talented prospects who should contribute this season. Three other redshirt freshmen – Blake Fromang, Will Holden and Kevin McCoy – bring more potential to the corps. The team's signing class also includes highly regarded prospects Delando Crooks and Sean Dowling.

WALKER MAY, JARED MORSE
A superb defensive leader, May (left) has started 22 games at end. Morse made an abundance of plays as a six-game starter at tackle last year.
DEFENSIVE LINE Starters back: 2 Letterwinners: 8 The Vanderbilt defensive line returns with six proven performers and numerous young Commodores just waiting for an opportunity to state their case for playing time. Third-year coach Sean Spencer will mentor a unit that could qualify as Vanderbilt's most athletic defensive line corps in recent years. Spencer also expects to see more size and bulk at all four positions. Three valuable contributors from a year ago – tackles Rob Lohr and Colt Nichter and end Johnell Thomas – have graduated, but those likely to fill their roles are quality players who enjoyed success with the Commodores in 2012. Three upperclassmen tipping the scale at more than 300 pounds – senior Jared Morse, redshirt junior Vince Taylor and junior Barron Dixon – are expected to be in Spencer's tackle rotation. They will compete with at least four talented newcomers during preseason camp. Morse is back for his final season after contributing nine tackles for loss and a pair of sacks among 24 tackles. Taylor might have been the team's most improved down lineman during spring drills, showing superb quickness and strength. Dixon is coming off his best year, having registered 22 tackles in 2012. The newcomers at tackle include three intriguing redshirt freshmen – Adam Butler, Ladarius Banks and Torey Agee – and 2013 signee Jay Woods. Butler and Agee showed promise in Spring Ball after moving from offensive guard and defensive end, respectively. 20

Two redshirt sophomores, Darien Bryant and Jimmy Stewart, bring speed and depth to the position. Another potential playmaker at end is redshirt freshman Stephen Weatherly, a rush end who continuously impressed coaches throughout the spring.

KARL BUTLER, CHASE GARNHAM
Butler (left) and Garnham were among the team's most productive defenders a year ago. They also bring leadership to the linebacker corps.
lineBacker CORPS Starters back: 2 Letterwinners: 7 Two veteran starters and five other letterwinners from a year ago headline Vanderbilt's linebacking corps. The returning starters, seniors Chase Garnham and Karl Butler, are joined by a bevy of talented young prospects ready to step into increased roles for third-year coach Brent Pry. Garnham has earned a reputation for making big plays as an outside linebacker in 2011 and middle linebacker last year. It's a short list of returning Southeastern Conference linebackers that can match Garnham's 2012 stats of 84 total tackles, seven sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss. Butler came into his own as a first-year starter at outside linebacker in 2012. Arguably the team's most athletic linebacker, Butler contributed 51 total tackles and was extremely productive in passing situations. Garnham and Butler also bring excellent leadership to the corps that only loses one key contributor to graduation, Archibald Barnes. The staff has big plans for sophomores Darreon Herring and Jake Sealand. Both earned valuable roles as true freshmen in 2012, and exited spring drills in the mix for expanding roles and potential starting jobs. Herring, projected as an outside linebacker, and Sealand, a classic inside linebacker, were big hitters last year. Herring had 33 tackles, forced two fumbles, and showed solid skills as a pass defender. Sealand posted
24 tackles, a forced fumble and frequently applied pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Karl Butler...............................

defensive Backfield Starters back: 3 Letterwinners: 7 The defensive secondary should be a strength of the squad this fall, with the Commodores returning three quality starters and several newcomers that impressed during spring drills. Leading the corps is senior Andre Hal, regarded by many as one of the nation's top cornerbacks, and a pair of starters covering the deep middle of the field, free safety Kenny Ladler and strong safety Javon Marshall. They are supported by three-year letterwinner Steve Clarke and a pair of promising redshirt freshmen cornerbacks – Paris Head and Torren McGlaster – and the top two reserve safeties from a year ago, redshirt sophomores Jahmel McIntosh and Andrew Williamson. The Commodores must replace two-year starting corner Trey Wilson, who earned a reputation of creating touchdowns on defense. Wilson set a new team record with four interception returns for scores. Hal's ability to cover and reaction in passing situations was on full display in 2012, when he deflected 14 passes and picked off two others. The preseason Thorpe Award candidate possesses the tools to run with top SEC receivers and play physical in man-to-man coverage.

Head Coach James Franklin
Doubters said it could not be done, but in two short years Vanderbilt Head Coach James Franklin has already taken the Commodores to heights not seen in decades, while completely changing the culture of the football program. Now, as Franklin enters his third season on campus, Vanderbilt's future appears brighter than ever before. Armed with a tireless work ethic, contagious personality, strong leadership and an invigorating passion for his team, Franklin has guided Vanderbilt to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history, signed the highest-rated recruiting class in school history three years in a row, energized the Commodore fan base, and mentored a squad of studentathletes that collectively earned praise for their academic achievement. The program's all-around success has turned heads of fans and media members across the country as people look to learn more about the mind behind the team's rise from the depths of the SEC. In two years, Franklin has reshaped the image of Vanderbilt football by not only the team's success, but also through his energy and love for the program. He has created a fun, energetic and close-knit family atmosphere that players crave. His passion for Vanderbilt is also on full display publicly through his relentless promotion of the program and random acts of kindness. Whether it is speaking to local organizations in Nashville, halting a press conference to hug a grateful bystander, helping Vanderbilt freshmen move into dorms, allowing an inspiring 11-year-old boy to lead the team onto the field for homecoming, passing out ice cream on campus or sitting in the home of a potential student-athlete, Franklin spreads goodwill and vision for the program to all that will listen. 28
To help spread his message, Franklin has provided unprecedented access to what takes place behind the scenes with his program. From pregame and postgame locker room speeches, to team meetings and trips inside the war room on signing day, Franklin has made a conscious effort to provide the public with an inside look at his program. His efforts have paid dividends with feature stories and videos landing on prominent websites such as SI.com and ESPN.com and in publications such as Sports Illustrated, the New York Times and the Washington Post. Just last August, a video featuring Franklin awarding a scholarship to walkon fullback Marc Panu went viral, collecting 400,000 views on YouTube and was featured on ESPN SportsCenter. Hired as the first African-American head coach in Vanderbilt gridiron history on Dec. 17, 2010, Franklin's off-the-field accomplishments have been outstanding, but the results on the field have simply been staggering. In his initial season with Vanderbilt in 2011, Franklin became the only first-year coach in school history to guide the Commodores to a bowl game and surpassed the total wins achieved by the program in each of its previous two seasons. As an encore, all Franklin did in his second season was run circles around what he achieved in 2011 and more, much more. He guided Vanderbilt to a 9-4 overall season, matching the school record for wins last achieved in 1915, and ending the season with the longest winning streak in the Southeastern Conference, having won seven straight. It was Vanderbilt's longest win streak since an eight-game streak in 1948. The remarkable 2012 campaign also included Vanderbilt tying another school record with five victories in SEC play. One of those conference

wins, against Tennessee, marked Vanderbilt's most decisive victory in the series since 1954. The team also won on the road in 2012. Three of Vanderbilt’s five SEC wins came at Missouri, Kentucky and Ole Miss. A convincing win at Wake Forest gave Vanderbilt four road victories, the most by a Commodore squad since 1948. Vanderbilt’s victory at Missouri was Franklin’s first road triumph in the SEC. The team’s 40-0 shutout at Kentucky was its second shutout of the season, marking the first time Vanderbilt had two shutouts in the same year since 1968. The win at Ole Miss was its sixth win of the season and came after facing a 23-6 deficit in the third quarter. The Commodores culminated the season with a 38-24 win over N.C. State in the 2012 Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. After the victory Franklin also was named as one of five finalists for National Coach of the Year honors from the Bryant Awards. Vanderbilt also ended the season ranked No. 20 in the USA TodayCoaches Top 25 poll and No. 23 in the Associated Press ballot. It marked the program's first inclusion in the final Top 25 poll since 1958. Other wins came against Presbyterian, UMass and Wake Forest. Vanderbilt won at Wake Forest, 55-21, and scored the second-most points ever allowed at BB&T Field. The win also helped Vanderbilt eclipse 300 points for the second straight year – a first in school history. Vanderbilt excelled in all three phases of the game in 2012. On offense, the team scored 40-plus points on five occasions for the first time since 1915. The team's 30.0-point scoring offense was the highest of the modern era, and best by any Vanderbilt unit since World War I. The defense allowed just 18.2 points per game during the regular season – the fewest since 1975. On special teams, Vanderbilt had an All-SEC punter and kicker in the same year for the first time in team history. Vanderbilt finished among the nation's best in a number of defensive statistical categories, ranking No. 6 in pass efficiency defense, No. 14 in

Head Coach James Franklin WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT JAMES FRANKLIN "I love how he leads.

"Coach Franklin cared about his players and was a great family guy. Coach was intense, but yet had fun and like I said, he had his passion for the game, his love for the game and a love for his players, and he cares about his players like family."
Jordy Nelson
wide receiver, Green Bay Packers
"Coach has meant so much to me, both on and off the field. I was very raw, and needed development in really every area. Coach taught me proper footwork, how to better understand pass routes and schemes, just how to play the position. Truly, to this day, my fundamental foundation as a quarterback came from the time with him."
Josh Freeman
quarterback, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
"He's got the plan in place. This is a culture change, and we needed it. Nine wins? Unheard of. A Top 25 ranking? Unheard of. A Top 25 recruiting class? Unheard of. My ultimate goal is to be sitting in the Georgia Dome one day, and it's Vanderbilt and someone from the West. And let's play ball.”

pass defense, No. 15 in scoring defense and No. 19 on total defense. Franklin also helped mentor three players to school records in 2012. Running back Zac Stacy became Vanderbilt’s all-time leading rusher and was the first player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Receiver Jordan Matthews set Vanderbilt’s single-season receiving yardage record with 1,323 yards and accumulated 94 catches, the second highest receptions total in Vanderbilt and SEC history. Kicker Carey Spear set a new school record by making 20 of 24 field goals. In two seasons at the helm, Franklin has compiled a 15-11 overall record. Only one other Vanderbilt head coach, College Football Hall of Fame member Dan McGugin, registered more victories (16, 1904-05). Franklin's success through two years is unmatched since since the Commodores became charter members of the SEC in 1933. Vanderbilt's performance in SEC action under Franklin has been impressive. Four of the team's seven conference wins under Franklin have come by 23 points or more. From 1957-2010, Vanderbilt had four total wins against SEC opponents by 23-plus points. In non-SEC games, Franklin's Vanderbilt teams are 7-1, including an 4-0 mark in 2011. Franklin has also reversed a historical struggle for the Commodores – finishing seasons on a strong note. For the first time since 1948, the 2012 Commodores were undefeated during the month of November. Franklin’s teams are 6-2 in November. In the decade before he arrived on campus, the 'Dores was just 3-32 in November games. The success of the team on the field has also translated to the stands. In 2012, home attendance jumped 16 percent, with Vanderbilt Stadium experiencing three sellouts. Franklin has also pushed for facility upgrades for the Vanderbilt program. Before the 2012 season, a new video board and hillside seating area in the south end zone were added to Vanderbilt Stadium. Additionally, new stadium lights enhanced the gameday experience and an artificial surface improved playing conditions on Dudley Field. In late October, the team's new Indoor Practice Facility is expected to open near McGugin Athletics Center and existing practice fields. Franklin pushed for the muchneeded venue, which will feature a regulation football field, upon arriving on campus. Prior to Franklin's arrival on campus, the Commodores posted consecutive two-win seasons. In his first season at Vanderbilt, Franklin guided the 2011 Commodores to an appearance in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Prior to accepting the Vanderbilt position, Franklin spent five seasons coordinating highly productive offensive units at the University of Maryland and Kansas State University. From 2008-10, Franklin served as offensive coordinator, and later added the title of assistant head coach. In 2010, he helped the Terrapins to an impressive 9-4 turnaround in 2010. That season, Franklin’s explosive offense averaged 32.2 points and topped 50 points in three games. Maryland redshirt freshman quarterback Danny O’Brien finished the 2010 season as one of the nation’s most efficient signal callers, throwing for 2,438 yards, 22 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions while earning ACC Rookie of the Year honors. First team All-ACC receiver Torrey Smith, an eventual second

Head Coach James Franklin round NFL pick, flourished under Franklin’s system, finishing 2010 with 67 receptions, 1,055 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. Franklin went to Maryland after spending the 2006-07 seasons as offensive coordinator at Kansas State. He helped the Wildcats earn their first winning season in four years and a berth in the inaugural Texas Bowl. In 2006, Franklin focused on mentoring talented true freshman quarterback Josh Freeman. In 2007, Franklin’s offense produced a 3,000-yard passer (Freeman), 1,500-yard receiver (All-America wide receiver Jordy Nelson), and 1,000-yard rusher for the first time in school history. Today, Freeman and Nelson have found great success in the NFL. Freeman is the starting quarterback for Tampa Bay after being selected in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft. Nelson grabbed a touchdown pass in the Green Bay Packers’ 2011 victory in Super Bowl XLV. Franklin spent the 2005 season coaching wide receivers for the Green Bay Packers. During that season, wide receiver Donald Driver set new career-high marks with 86 receptions for 1,221 yards. After his brief but successful NFL tenure, Franklin returned to the college ranks for the opportunity to devise offensive schemes and gain in-game play calling experience at the coordinator level. Franklin’s opportunity with the most-storied team in the NFL came on the heels of a five-year role coaching wide receivers at Maryland. During his tenure, the Terps earned three postseason berths including an appearance in the 2002 BCS FedEx Orange Bowl. Franklin’s role expanded to recruiting coordinator in 2003.

2012 game recaps Murray, Potent Offense Leads Georgia Over Commodores ATHENS, Ga. -– When Aaron Murray steps to the line, he feels a sense of calm that comes from experience. Murray completed his first 12 passes and got plenty of help from the rest of the offense, leading No. 5 Georgia to its most complete performance of the season in a 48-3 victory. Murray hooked up with Brown and King on touchdown throws, breaking a tie with Eric Zeier for second ame place in school history. The fourth-year Sept. 22, 2012 junior has 69 career TDs, just three behind David Greene. Athens, Ga. Murray also scored on a 1-yard sneak as the Bulldogs raced to a 27-0 lead in the first half. He finished 18 of 24 for 250 yards. But there was more to this offensive performance than another big night for the quarterback. A lot more. Georgia's freshmen backs had another outstanding game. Todd Gurley rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns, including a 29-yard score in which he broke at least four tackles. Keith Marshall had a 52-yard TD among his two scoring runs.

2012 Game Recaps Vandy Gets First SEC Road Win in Two Years at Mizzou COLUMBIA, Mo. – A botched Missouri extra-point snap and a bobbled punt attempt that led to a safety helped Vanderbilt beat Missouri 19-15 Saturday night, depriving the former Big 12 school of its first Southeastern Conference win. Zac Stacy rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries for Vanderbilt (2-3, 1-2), which earned its first conference win. Jordan Rodgers was 14 of 24 for 182 yards and one ame interception. Missouri (3-3, 0-3) took an early 6-0 lead Oct. 6, 2012 and kept Vanderbilt from gaining a first down Columbia, Mo. until nearly nine minutes into the second quarter. Missouri couldn't muster much offense after an early injury to quarterback James Franklin, who sprained his left knee on a first-quarter run and didn't return. Vanderbilt's first points of the game came when Missouri punter Trey Barrow couldn't handle a snap while standing in the back of Missouri's end zone, with the ball rolling out the back. A 5-yard Stacy run late in the second half gave the Commodores a 9-6 lead they wouldn't relinquish.

Scoring Summary
PLAY OF THE GAME With the Commodores clinging to a four-point lead on their own 26-yard line and facing a 3rd & 9, Zac Stacy runs for 13 yards to pick up the first down and stay in bounds allowing the Dores to run out the clock.
KEY STATISTIC Punter Richard Kent's big day kicking the ball was key as the senior averaged 43.4 yards per punt, swinging field position with two punts of over 50 yards and two inside the 20-yard line.
QUOTABLE "It was just one of those situations that we go over almost every day - fourminute situations. I knew I had to get the first down and got it and knew I had to stay inbounds. It was a great way to end the game. I was pretty determined on the run." Zac Stacy on his first-down rush to seal the game
NOTEWORTHY The SEC road win marked the first for Vanderbilt since winning at Ole Miss in 2010. After Missouri's first two drives, the Commodores' defense allowed only 50 yards and three first downs the rest of the first half. 98

2012 game recaps Driskel, Gators Prove Too Much for Commodores NASHVILLE – No one will overlook Jeff Driskel again, not after the Florida quarterback ran the ball better than even Tim Tebow. Driskel ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns, and the No. 4-ranked Gators beat Vanderbilt 31-17 to stay undefeated going into their big showdown with No. 3 South Carolina. Driskel ran only 11 times, and the sophomore set the Florida record for yards rushing by a quarterback, topping ame Tebow's 166 yards against Mississippi in Oct. 13, 2012 2007 on 27 carries. Nashville Vanderbilt watched Gators running back Mike Gillislee so closely that Driskel didn't even think the Commodores laid a hand on him on any of his TD runs. The Gators (6-0, 5-0 SEC) finished off their last SEC road trip outside of the state of Florida with their 22nd straight win over Vanderbilt. Florida, which rallied in the second half to beat Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU already this season, took control early this time. The Gators scored 21 straight points, including 11 in the second quarter where they took the lead for good.

But the Commodores needed just 55 seconds to assume the role. Two late first-half touchdowns made up for a penalty-filled opening half and broke open a tight game as Vanderbilt rolled to a 49-7 victory over winless Massachusetts on Saturday. Jordan Rodgers completed 17 of 21 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a score as the Commodores (4-4) overcame 11 penalties, ame Oct. 27, 2012 two turnovers and the loss of their starting running back to blow out UMass (0-8). Nashville Vanderbilt made it look easy in the second half - specifically the third quarter. Within five minutes, the Commodores leapt to a 49-0 lead thanks to four touchdowns, including an interception return and the team's first punt return for a score since 1999. "It was huge," Rodgers said. "We needed it. We got off to a slow start and we needed to hit a couple of those touchdowns late in the half to give us some momentum - some kind of confidence going into halftime because we had too many mental mistakes."

2012 game recaps Commodores Rally from 17-point Deficit to Down Rebels OXFORD, Miss. – It was a clutch moment that has so often flummoxed Vanderbilt's football program for the better part of its history. But in yet another piece of mounting evidence that the Commodores aren't a SEC doormat anymore, Jordan Rodgers calmly surveyed the field and found Chris Boyd wide open for a 26-yard touchdown pass with 52 seconds remaining to give Vanderbilt a 27-26 victory over Mississippi on Saturday night. It ended a thrilling comeback for the ame Commodores (6-4, 3-3 SEC), who trailed 23-6 Nov. 10, 2012 early in the third quarter but rallied for their Oxford, Miss. fourth straight victory. Now the postseason is in Vanderbilt's future - again. The Commodores are poised to go to their second straight bowl game for the first time in school history. Second-year coach James Franklin has engineered the quick turnaround, turning Vanderbilt into an SEC threat nearly overnight. "I'm looking forward to the day when I don't have to say first ever, because we want this to be the culture at Vanderbilt. A culture of winning," Franklin said. "Our coaches and players believe it."

The Golden Years
Dan McGugin's Commodores took on all comers, and rarely failed to deliver a victory. Traveling by rail across much of the nation, the program compiled a 124-30 record from 1904-22.
Playing the Texas State Fair
Before Oklahoma and Texas started the Red River Shootout, it was Vanderbilt vs. Texas at the Texas State Fair in Dallas. Vanderbilt won five of seven games with the Longhorns between 1921 and 1928.
Overpowering Commodores
From 1910 to 1912, McGugin's teams went 24-2-1, and outscored their opponents by a combined 816-35 margin. Above, fans line Curry Field with Model Ts to watch 1910 game.

Cody became a successful head coach, serving in that role at Clemson and Temple. Cody was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 1970.
ray Morrison W.E. Metzer Quarterback, 1911
Guard, 1910
When Morrison ended his career in 1911, McGugin called him “the best I ever saw.” More than two decades later, a panel of writers tabbed Morrison as VU's top QB through its first 50 years. An All-America in 1911, Morrison was a talented player and leader. In his two years, the team went 16-1-1. He later became a great coach, serving 34 seasons at the collegiate level. While McGugin served in the military during 1918, he was the team’s interim coach. When McGugin retired in 1934, Morrison was his handpicked successor. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.
Metzger was Dan McGugin's first great lineman, earning Third Team All-America recognition in 1910. In 1909, Metzger was a sensation in the backfield, rushing for fourscores to singlehandedly beat Mercer 28-0, before suffering a leg fracture. In 1910, he moved to the line, anchoring a unit that helped produce a 8-0-1 record. On defense, he assisted a unit that allowed only eight points. Metzger shared the spotlight with QB Ray Morrison in 1911. He played brilliantly, helping the Commodores to a 8-1 record.

"rabbit" Curry Lewis Hardage back, 1916
back, 1912
A legend in team history, Curry was superb on and off the field. Small in stature, Curry's display of talent, heart and leadership was cherished by fans. Selected as a Third Team AllAmerica in 1916, Curry was a field general at QB who displayed a knack for brilliant runs. The Texan guided the team to a 7-1-1 record in 1916 and directed the famous “Point-AMinute” squad of 1915. He was also elected junior class president and as the school's prestigious Bachelor of Ugliness by the student body. Curry’s life was cut short. Just two years after graduating, Curry died when his plane was shot down over France in WWI.
After transferring from Auburn to enter Dental School, Hardage was part of what observers called the 'Dores’ fastest backfield. Hardage starred on tremendous squads. As captain in 1911-12, he helped Vanderbilt go 16-2-1 overall, and their opponents 578-27. Hardage earned Third Team All-America and All-Southern Conference recognition as a senior. Hardage dominated several games in 1912, scoring 95 points for the squad that topped the nation in points. He also was a chief factor in a pair of early season blowouts, 105-0 over Bethel and 100-0 against Maryville.
Owsley Manier back, 1906
Joining the team in Dan McGugin’s first year on campus, Manier was a three-year starter and a big reason why Vanderbilt became an instant Southern power under McGugin. As the team’s fullback, Manier was named All-America in 1906, becoming the first Commodore so honored. He was an offensive machine for McGugin’s squad, scoring three times against Kentucky and on five occasions in 78-0 victory over Alabama. Manier was a key factor in the Commodores' 24-1 overall record. Eventually, Manier returned to academia, and became professor emeritus of clinical medicine at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

JACKSONVILLE – Still hurting from a dislocated elbow suffered in the Tennessee game, quarterback Don Orr scored two touchdowns and set up another as the Commodores defeated No. 8-ranked Auburn in the 11th Gator Bowl 25-13. The Vanderbilt defense provided a huge lift for the Commodores, recovering five fumbles in the victory. Vanderbilt’s first score was set up when Orr recovered an Auburn fumble. Eight plays later, Joe Stephenson ran seven yards for the VU touchdown. Auburn answered on a 38-yard TD pass from Howell Tubbs to Rob James in the second quarter, but the rest of the game belonged to the Black and Gold. On Vanderbilt’s following possession, Orr carried the ball 44 yards to the Tigers’ 28. He then passed to Joe Scales, who advanced to the Auburn 4-yard line. On the next play, Orr carried the ball over the line after a fake to fullback Phil King to give Vanderbilt a 13-7 lead at the half. At the opening of the third quarter, Vanderbilt guard Sonny Tatum recovered an Auburn fumble, and the Commodores marched quickly into scoring position as Orr crossed the goal line for his second touchdown of the day to make the score 19-7. Both teams scored once more in the fourth quarter. Vanderbilt’s score came on a one-yard run off right tackle by Charley Horton. Vanderbilt coach Art Guepe cleared his bench in the final minutes, using 38 of the 39 men dressed for the game. Capitalizing on Auburn’s five fumbles and using an ailing quarterback, the Commodores captured its first bowl appearance.

ATLANTA – The 1974 Peach Bowl was a game with no champion but two winners, the Commodores and Texas Tech Red Raiders. Despite the effective rushing of Red Raider tailback Larry Isaac and fullback Cliff Hoskins, the Commodore defense held Texas Tech without points in the first half and entered halftime with a 3-0 lead after Mark Adams kicked a 31-yard field goal with 10 minutes remaining. Neither team was able to muster much offense in the third quarter, though Texas Tech did tie the score at 3-3 after a drive stalled at the Vanderbilt 16-yard line. Early in the fourth quarter, the Commodores’ freshman lineman Dennis Harrison stopped a deep Texas Tech threat by blocking a Red Raider field goal attempt. The Tech drive started following one of two Vanderbilt turnovers during the game. After the blocked field goal, the Commodores responded with a possession that ended with Adams’ second field goal of the day, a 26-yarder that resulted in a 6-3 Vanderbilt margin. However, Texas Tech tied the game at the 2:00 mark on a 35-yard field goal by Brian Hall. On its final drive, Vanderbilt could not move into scoring range. The Commodore offense struggled much of the day, with quarterback David Lee hitting just five of 14 attempts. Running back Jamie O’Rourke had 76 rushing yards. The limited offensive production from both teams resulted in numerous defensive and scoring records being set in the game. Within hours of the conclusion, Vanderbilt Head Coach Steve Sloan announced he was leaving his position to accept the head coaching job at Texas Tech.

boston college 14 vanderbilt 16
BIRMINGHAM – Without question, the Hall of Fame Bowl was one of college football’s most exciting 1982 postseason games. The game matched one of the nation’s most potent aerial attacks featuring Vanderbilt All-SEC quarterback Whit Taylor and one of America’s most devastating rushing attacks in the Falcons’ vaunted option attack. Offensively, this game lived up to the hype as 33 Hall of Fame records were broken and another eight were tied in Legion Field. Unfortunately for Vanderbilt, Air Force walked away the winner 36-28 after a remarkable comeback. For three quarters, Whit Taylor was unstoppable. Connecting with a variety of wide receivers and running backs, Taylor’s fourth touchdown pass of the game, a four-yarder to Norman Jordan, gave the Commodores a 28-17 margin entering the fourth quarter. Down by double digits, the Air Force Academy scored rushing touchdowns on three consecutive possessions to take the victory. Taylor was named the Most Valuable Player, after completing a team-record 38 passes of 51 attempts for 452 yards, which remains as the second highest singlegame passing yardage total in Vanderbilt history. Jordan’s performance arguably was more remarkable. Though rushing for just four yards, Jordan hauled in 20 receptions for 173 yards and three TDs, breaking five Hall of Fame Bowl records.
NASHVILLE – Vanderbilt won a bowl game for the first time in exactly 53 years, with Bryant Hahnfeldt kicking a 45-yard field goal with 3:26 left for a 16-14 win over #24 Boston College in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl held on New Year's Eve in Nashville's LP Field. The Commodores hadn't played in a bowl since 1982 – the SEC's longest drought. The victory gave Vanderbilt (7-6) its first winning season since that season. This is just the fourth time in the past 50 years that Vanderbilt has won seven games in a season. The Eagles got the ball twice after Hahnfeldt's third field goal. They had to punt the first time, then Vanderbilt DB Myron Lewis picked off a pass with 1:36 left. Vanderbilt scored its lone touchdown when freshman safety Sean Richardson fell on a Commodore punt that bounced off the knee of BC's Paul Anderson with 10:35 left in the third quarter. The Commodores played musical chairs at quarterback, giving redshirt freshman Larry Smith his first career start. Hahnfeldt, a Nashville product playing his final game as a Commodore, matched a single-game career high with the three field goals. The Commodores also forced two interceptions while allowing none.

MEMPHIS – Isaiah Pead ran for 149 yards and a touchdown, and Ralph David Abernathy IV's 90-yard kickoff return put Cincinnati ahead to stay as the Bearcats edged Vanderbilt 31-24 in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. But the 10-3 co-Big East champion Bearcats (10-3) had to work to put away Vanderbilt (6-7), a team that tied for fourth in the SEC's East Division. The Commodores led 21-17 early in the fourth quarter until Abernathy became the first Cincinnati player to return a kickoff for a TD in the program's 13 bowl appearances. The Commodores, making their fifth bowl appearance and first since 2008, finished the season with a 6-7 record. Senior quarterback Larry Smith replaced Vanderbilt starter Jordan Rodgers in the third quarter, and he threw for a season-high 142 yards. Smith's biggest completion was a 68-yard scoring toss to Chris Boyd that gave the Commodores for a 21-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. Vanderbilt lost the lead on the ensuing kickoff.

NASHVILLE – Vanderbilt is winning like the Commodores haven't in nearly a century. After capturing the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, Head Coach James Franklin says everyone better get used to it. Jordan Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Commodores capped their best season since 1915 by defeating North Carolina State 38-24 in Nashville's LP Field. "We're not going anywhere," a smiling and teary Franklin said. The Commodores finished 9-4 for their best record since going 9-1 in 1915. It marks only the third time the smallest and only private university in the SEC has won as many as nine games in a season. Vandy closed the season with seven straight wins for its longest streak since an eight-game run in 1948. Senior Zac Stacy earned the bowl's MVP honors with 108 rushing yards and one touchdowns.

vanderbilt university
Vanderbilt, founded 140 years ago by a $1 million gift by Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, is one of the nation’s leading institutions of higher learning, a mid-size, private comprehensive research university that emphasizes undergraduate learning and living experiences. Members of the 2013 undergraduate student body, including Commodore student-athletes, are outstanding academic achievers and active participants in the campuses' many organizations and activities. They also compose the most diverse enrollment ever at Vanderbilt as the university continues to attract students from many ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, geographic and religious backgrounds. Since its inception, the university has taken great pride in the quality of education – and quality of life – its students enjoy. Each of the four undergraduate colleges – College of Arts and Science, School of Engineering, Blair School of Music and Peabody College – attracts students with varying goals and dreams. At Vanderbilt, professors know their students’ names and take an interest in students’ ideas. Recognized globally for their research and scholarship prowess, faculty members believe in the importance of balancing professional pursuits with classroom instruction, and they value their relationships with students. Some of the world’s leading scholars teach at Vanderbilt, helping students develop an academic program that meets individual objectives, and they encourage students to enhance primary areas of study by choosing among hundreds of elective courses,

VANDERBILT FACTS • Undergraduate enrollment of 6,796 • Full-time faculty of 3,551 • 24,877 university employees • 300-acre scenic campus is located west of downtown Nashville • More than 124,800 living alumni; 20,830 reside in Nashville
course-related internships, off-campus study and accelerated degree programs. Through the Honor Code, student-directed service opportunities and campus programs, Vanderbilt students also consider moral and ethical issues and put the many facets of their lives into a
personal framework of values. At Vanderbilt, the big material resources are in place: beautiful grounds and buildings, well-equipped classrooms and labs, modern options for housing, and ample athletic and recreational facilities. Off campus, undergraduates have all the urban conveniences offered by one of America’s most vibrant cities, the Tennessee capital city of Nashville. Though located within walking distance of downtown activities, the quality of Vanderbilt life is reflected in much smaller, less public ways – running into friends while walking on campus, researching papers or grabbing a late-night snack or attending a Commodore sporting event.

Consisting of 10 modern residential "houses" and a full-service Commons Center, the community serves as home to all first-year Vanderbilt undergraduates. Christened in 2007, The Ingram Commons is located in the southeast quadrant of Vanderbilt, on its Peabody campus. The Ingram Commons also was showcased in October 2008 when ESPN selected the site as its location for the popular College Football GameDay broadcast prior to airing Vanderbilt's victory over Auburn on campus. An experienced staff of student life professionals and undergraduate and graduate resident advisers assures the health, well-being, and safety of each member of The Ingram Commons community. Residents of each house are mentored by a member of the university faculty. The showpiece Commons Center, a modern dining and activity hub surrounded by the residential houses, features a diverse selection of great food in the Eatery dining hall. The climate-controlled facility brings plenty of variety, ranging from the place to study with friends to hosting an occasional musical performance. The Commons Cafe also brings students, faculty and staff together for delicious food and social interaction.
Notable Vanderbilt AlumNi Across THE NATION Vanderbilt alumni are having a positive impact on the nation. Many of Vanderbilt's alumni are leaders in their chosen fields, including sports, business, engineering, science and medicine, public service, arts and entertainment, and education. In sports, Vanderbilt grads are more abundant than ever: Brandt Snedeker is the reigning PGA Tour Fed Ex Cup champion; David Price is one of the American League's top hurlers and starting pitcher of the 2010 MLB All-Star game; Buster Olney is ESPN's top baseball analyst; Skip Bayless is an ESPN's Buster Olney opinionated morning co-host on ESPN's First Take; and Jay Cutler is primed for his best NFL season yet as the Chicago Bears' starting quarterback. From the halls of Congress, Lamar Alexander is one of the nation's most effective leaders as Tennessee's senior senator. Rear Admiral Nora Tyson commands America’s newest aircraft carrier. On the set of NBC Studios in New York City, Willie Geist co-anchors the third hour of the Today Show and is co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe. Suspense enthusiasts gobble up the newest thriller by best-selling writer James Patterson. Economist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Muhammad Yunus is taking his community-based Grameen Bank concept across the globe from Bangladesh. And in the fields of enterprise and technology, Dr. Thomas Frist Jr., Cal Turner Jr., Arthur Hancock, Bill Samuels Jr., and John Ingram are just a few of many alums regarded as leaders of industry and commerce.

chancellor Nick zeppos Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos was raised in Milwaukee, where he spent many an afternoon watching the great Hank Aaron of the Braves slug home runs in the old County Stadium. Named Vanderbilt’s eighth chancellor in 2008, Zeppos has taken a keen interest in athletics at Vanderbilt during his more than two decades at the university. “I don’t do the operations,” Zeppos said. “I don’t call the plays, I don’t throw the passes. I see my job as simply trying to do whatever I can to support all of the talented people who do these things.” This support has included the endorsement of an athletics capital improvement plan expected to surpass $50 million, which orchestrates efforts to improve the student experience for athletes and assists with recruiting. “One thing I consider the ultimate compliment is when a coach calls me and says, ‘I’ve got a couple of recruits here. Could you meet them?’” A distinguished legal scholar, teacher and executive, Zeppos served from 2002 to February 2008 as Vanderbilt’s chief academic officer, overseeing the university’s undergraduate, graduate and professional education programs and research in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, music, education, business, law and divinity. As provost and vice chancellor, he chaired Vanderbilt’s budgeting and capital planning council, as well as oversaw the dean of students and dean of admissions. Zeppos has led a number of important initiatives at Vanderbilt, including the planning process for The Ingram Commons, a landmark transformation of the first-year experience; the Strategic Academic Planning Group; innovative efforts in undergraduate admissions and financial aid; and the development of new programs in Jewish studies, law and economics and genetics, among others. In a bold move to strengthen Vanderbilt's commitment to admitting undergraduates on the basis of accomplishment and achievement, rather than their ability to pay, Zeppos significantly expanded the financial aid program in 2009. By replacing undergraduate, need-based loans with grant and scholarship assistance, the university opened its doors wider to highly talented and qualified students of all economic, cultural and

The expanded aid program is top university priority and is funded by a combination of strategic budget allocations and gifts from thousands of generous donors to Opportunity Vanderbilt, a campaign to increase undergraduate scholarship endowment. Zeppos was recognized with five teaching awards at the law school before serving as an associate dean, associate provost, and provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. He also served as interim chancellor for eight months prior to being formally appointed as Vanderbilt's eighth chancellor on March 1, 2008. Zeppos is the Vice President of the 2013-14 executive committee of the Southeastern Conference and has been named President-elect for the 2014-16 term. In the Nashville community, Zeppos serves on the boards of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Nashville Public Education Foundation. He also serves on the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board and the Freedom Forum Diversity Institute Board. From 1982 to 1987, Zeppos practiced law in Washington, D.C., at the United States Department of Justice and at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, where he specialized in appellate litigation involving complex regulatory, statutory and constitutional matters. Zeppos is a 1979 magna cum laude graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School, where he served as editor in chief of the Wisconsin Law Review and was selected as the outstanding graduate of his class. He studied history during his undergraduate years at the university, where he was a 1976 Phi Beta Kappa graduate. He is married to Lydia A. Howarth, a graduate of the University of Chicago and Lawrence University, who is an editor. They have two sons, Benjamin and Nicholas.

Stadium Upgrades In place; More Improvements Studied Several substantial improvements were finished at Vanderbilt Stadium just before the 2012 season opener. Many additional enhancements, potentially significant in nature, could be coming in the near future. The gameday experience in Vanderbilt's 30-year-old, on-campus venue were substantially improved last year with the construction of a hillside berm next to the north end zone. Behind the berm, officials installed a new video board that more than doubled the size of the stadium's former Jumbotron. Dudley Field in Vanderbilt Stadium, playing surface for Commodore football since 1922, returned to a synthetic surface for the first time in more than decade when the university decided to add cushioned Shaw Sportexe turf. The new surface drew rave reviews from Commodore players, who also benefited with the final enhancement – a new stadium lighting system. The hillside berm, that accommodates 400 general admission ticket holders, brings total stadium capacity to 40,330. The work last year adds to other major recent improvements. A thorough exterior renovation was completed in 2008-09, including new plazas and extrances at Gates 2 & 3 and an exterior paint and brick effort to unify Vanderbilt Stadium and the program's two other biggest sporting venues, Hawkins Field and Memorial Gym. Plans for a future renovation have not been announced, but Vanderbilt administrators have journeyed to campuses across the nation to examine other stadium projects.
