Comments from Vandy's Coach Caldwell on win at Ole Miss

The Com­mo­do­res head into their bye week fresh off a 28-14 vic­tory in Oxford, Miss. Van­der­bilt will attempt to repeat its' suc­cess at Ole Miss into another win at UCONN on Oct. 2 and even its' record at 2-2. Here are some com­ments from Coach Rob­bie Cald­well from Saturday. "We came here on a busi­ness trip. That’s what we desig­na­ted it as. It was a quick tur­na­round. We had pre-game meal at 7 this mor­ning, on the bus, the bus broke down. We had to pile every­body on the other buses. They could have found every excuse to not fight hard, to throw their hands in the air, but they didn’t." "Defense pla­yed great. Offense, we didn’t have a whole lot of yards, but we rushed for about 240. Outs­tan­ding. We made first downs when we had to. I couldn’t be more proud of them. Spe­cial teams, it was a com­plete effort. The punt team just did an extraor­di­nary job kee­ping them bac­ked up." "We never got down. We know we should have won one other, and we pos­sibly had a chance to win the other. We know that. Every­body has poin­ted it out to us on many occa­sions as well. I always appre­ciate the help from the outside, too. But these guys just kept wor­king. We’re a family and we pay atten­tion to what’s said inside. That’s the most impor­tant thing."
