Anchor Drop, August 26, 2022: 1 Day to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 1 day away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener at Hawaii. 1 for the Commodores is defensive lineman Elijah McAllister. The 6’6”, 265-pound redshirt senior from Rumson, New Jersey, played in all 12 games last season and notched 23 tackles.

Vanderbilt soccer improved to 3-0 with a 2-0 win over Western Kentucky; not only are the Commodores undefeated this season, they haven’t allowed a goal in three matches this season. Alex Kerr scored both of the Commodores’ goals last night. The Hustler also recaps last night’s action.

Football reading prior to gameday: Chad Bishop’s Five for Friday column, practice notes and film room from the Hustler.
