BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- According to Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, his team wasnt exactly a finely turned machine on Saturday.However, despite plenty of sputtering and missing, the Commodores rallied and escaped with a 31-30 victory at Western Kentucky, thanks to a failed 2-point conversion by the Hilltoppers at the end of the first overtime.Defensively, we leaked a lot of oil out there today, but we came up big when we needed to, Mason said. That was important.Kyle Shurmurs 5-yard pass to Nathan Marcus on the first possession of overtime gave Vanderbilt (2-2) its first lead of the game, and Tommy Openshaw added the point after for the Commodores.Western Kentucky (2-2) answered quickly, needing just two plays to find the end zone on Mike Whites 8-yard pass to Shaquille Johnson in overtime.Hilltoppers coach Jeff Brohm elected to go for two points. White rolled to his right, but his pass was deflected into the air off Anthony Wales helmet and ruled incomplete, as Vanderbilt players rushed the field to celebrate the comeback victory.Brohm said he thought his team had a chance to win it with the 2-point try.I thought we had a chance to win. I thought the play was decent. Mike maybe put a little too much heat on it. Id have to see the film. But, it ricocheted off (Anthony Wales) helmet, but it was a little hot coming out, Brohm said of the final play.Wales said it was a play he should have made, regardless of the velocity of the pass.It was a great play call, they bit on the outside. It was attempted to me. It was a little hot, but I should have caught it. Im a playmaker and I put that play on me, he said.Vanderbilts offense, which had struggled for much of the game, put together two impressive fourth-quarter drives for 10 points, including going 75 yards in the final 1:02 of regulation in seven plays to tie the game at 24-24 and force overtime. A pass interference call in the end zone on Western Kentuckys DeAndre Simmons against Vanderbilts Trent Shurfield gave the Commodores the ball at the Hilltopper 2 with three seconds to play in regulation. Vanderbilt running back Ralph Webb, who had three rushing touchdowns in the game, leaped from just inside the 5 and landed just beyond the front edge of the end zone for the tying score.When we needed to establish some momentum, we did. The offense got it back and got rolling. The offense kept us alive, Mason said.The Hilltoppers built a 14-0 lead in the first half, getting a 4-yard run from Anthony Wales to cap the opening drive of the game. WKU added a second-quarter score when backup quarterback Tyler Ferguson hit Nacarius Fant on a 61-yard pass play.Webb capped touchdown drives for Vanderbilt of 4 and 2 yards to tie the game briefly at 14-14.Wales put the Hilltoppers back in front with a 20-yard touchdown and the teams traded fourth-quarter field goals before the Commodores game-tying drive.THE TAKEAWAYWESTERN KENTUCKY: The Hilltoppers dominated the game on the stat sheet, putting up 501 yards of total offense.

But in the fourth quarter and overtime, he was 8 of 12 for 155 yards and a touchdown in overtime. Shurmur took the Commodores 75 yards in seven plays with 1:02 left and no timeouts to tie the game and force OT.TURNAROUNDOn the first series of the game, Western Kentucky drove downfield from its own 25 to the Vanderbilt 4, when a swing pass was batted and ruled a lateral.

They shot 56 percent in the second half to put away the Panthers, who were undone by a combination of turnovers and cold shooting.I thought we were very stagnant in the first half, much better in the second half, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. Its probably one of the better second-half defenses weve had. The defense was really good away from us tonight.Georgia State finished with 18 turnovers, which Auburn turned into 16 points.Purifoy was plagued with foul trouble early, and had to come out just three minutes into the game, and he didnt return for the rest of the half. But he scored 17 points in the second half to help propel the Tigers to a second consecutive win.The first half was tightly contested. Each team had trouble holding onto the ball, turning it over a combined 23 times -- 15 of which the Panthers were responsible for. Then, Harper canned two 3-pointers in the final two minutes to give Auburn a five-point lead at the break.
