Stephen Rivers to Misread Play Calls Elsewhere in 2015

Vanderbilt's quarterback competition just got a bit tighter. Stephen Rivers, the 6'7" passer who started the Commodores' second game of the season last fall, announced that he will transfer to another program in order to play out his final year of eligibility.
