The Vanderbilt transfer rushed for a career high 280 yards and four touchdowns as the Wildcats rolled to a 33-14 win at packed Kroger Field on Saturday. He had three on the ground and one pass reception for a score.

Quarterback Devin Leary passed for 69 yards, completing 9-of-20. 

Placekicker Alex Raynor had two fields, including a career high 50 yards.
