David Shochat breaks down the action in our Music City Bowl Report Card. Agree? Disagree? Tell us what you think in the comments section below!

QBs:
B+
 Redshirt freshman Larry Smith got the surprising start for the Music City Bowl and showed the future is bright for the Commodores at quarterback. Smith threw for 121 yards on 10-17 passing, including a beautiful 51-yard pass to redshirt senior Sean Walker. Redshirt senior Chris Nickson played as well but was used mainly to run the ball. An injured redshirt junior Mackenzi Adams played one play and was roughed on a pass to help get the Commodores a critical first down. None of the quarterbacks threw a touchdown pass.
RBs:
B
 The running backs didn't get many carries in the game, and when they did, the Boston College front seven didn't let them get far. Redshirt junior Jared Hawkins only ran the ball eight times for 13 yards. However, the lack of production was to be expected against the seventh-best rush defense in the country.
WRs:
B
 The wide receivers, like the running backs, didn't get the ball much, but Walker had a great catch for 51 yards in his final game as a Commodore. Walker finished the game with 68 yards receiving, the second-most of his career. Redshirt freshman Udom Umoh led the team with three catches for his first career receptions.
OL:
B-
 The quarterbacks were only sacked once all night. However, the line had trouble with Boston College's talented front seven as Vanderbilt went only 1-15 on third downs, many of which were third and one.
DL:
B+
 While the Commodores did not record a sack in the game, three different defensive linemen were credited with quarterback hurries in the game. Redshirt sophomore Teriall Brannon started his first game as a Commodore and filled in admirably for the injured redshirt junior Broderick Stewart. Junior Greg Billinger led the defensive lineman with a career-high seven tackles.
LBs:
B+
 Redshirt freshman Chris Marve was his usual self, registering 10 tackles in the game. Junior Patrick Benoist added nine tackles. The tandem ended the year as the top two tacklers for the Commodores and each had over 100 tackles.
DBs:
A-
 While junior Myron Lewis got burned on a double move that allowed Boston College to take a 14-13 led in the fourth quarter, Lewis redeemed himself as he intercepted Boston College quarterback Dominique Davis to seal the victory for the Commodores. Redshirt senior Reshard Langford had nine tackles in his final game. Redshirt junior safety Ryan Hamilton had six tackles and an interception off a D.J. Moore pass deflection. On the deflection, junior Moore injured his ankle and would play sparingly throughout the rest of the game. Freshman Casey Hayward filled in for Moore and played great.
Special Teams:
A
 Junior Brett Upson was named MVP of the Music City Bowl and his punt that deflected off of a Boston College player would be the only touchdown for the Commodores. Senior Bryant Hahnfeldt was 3-3 in the game converting on kicks from 42, 26 and 45 yards. Although Hahnfeldt has had his ups and downs at his time at Vanderbilt, it seemed fitting that the native of Nashville would kick the eventual game-winning 45-yard field goal.
Coaching:
B-
 While coach Bobby Johnson and staff did a good job of going with Smith to start the game, I question not leaving him in the whole game. The staff continued to rotate between Smith and Nickson, which would have been fine except that Nickson only threw the ball three times and never completed a pass. I wonder if Boston College knew what was coming when Nickson entered the game? Also, going 1-15 on third down is horrendous. Some of it is execution, but a lot of it was horrible play calling by offensive coordinator Ted Cain. A lot of those third downs were third and short, and while it is one thing to try to run on the first few third and shorts, after a while, you would think that maybe someone would realize that it was not working, that you are playing the seventh best run defense in the nation, and they know you are going to run because you have not passed once on third and short! I mean it does not take a rocket scientist to think up a short pass play to the tight end or running back out of the backfield on third and short when all you have done is run all game in that situation. What was it? Did you not have faith in Larry Smith to make the right decision? What does that tell your players? If Smith would have been allowed to throw it on some of those third and shorts, his throwing the ball into the fifth row if no one was open would have been just as good if not better than running the ball and losing yardage. It was a great to get the win, but the conservative play calling starting all the way in the third quarter almost cost Vanderbilt the game. It reminded me of the Georgia game last year which the Commodores lost on a last second field goal. Even the best defense can only hold so long against a good team like Boston College.
