NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Ralph Webb ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns, and Vanderbilt scored 31 straight points in beating Ole Miss 38-17 Saturday night to snap a three-game skid to the Rebels.With the win, Vanderbilt (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) assured coach Derek Mason his best record yet in his third season. The Commodores now need a win in their regular season finale to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. Their APR is so good that five wins could be enough, winning a sixth game would be even better.Listen thats exactly what were going to do, Mason said. Were going to line ourselves up and try to get ourselves ready to go play one more game because thats what were guaranteed. And you know what? Were looking forward to this one.Kyle Shurmur threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns, and the Commodores also had three sacks. Linebacker Zach Cunningham, the SECs leading tackler, recovered a fumble.Vanderbilt was the first SEC opponent that Ole Miss played this season that hadnt been ranked, and the Commodores snapped the Rebels two-game win streak. Now the Rebels (5-6, 2-5) need a win in the Egg Bowl to extend its bowl streak.Freshman Shea Patterson, so thrilling in rallying the Rebels to an upset at Texas A&M last week , struggled against Masons defense. Ole Miss had to settle for a field goal on the opening drive, and Patterson added TD passes to Akeem Judd and Evan Engram.The Rebels were held to a season-low in points, and Jason Pellerin replaced Patterson for the final drive. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said they got beat on a big play before Vandy scored its first TD.And we never found the rhythm again offensively, Freeze said. I dont know how many drops we had tonight. It had to be approaching 10 to 12, and those are critical.The key play came within the opening minute of the third quarter and cost the Rebels their leading tackler, linebacker DeMarquis Gates, for a targeting even though a flag wasnt thrown.The penalty was announced after the replay booth reviewed what appeared to be a fumble by Vanderbilts Donovan Tennyson off a double reverse recovered by Ole Miss defensive back Tony Conner whose foot was out of bounds when he picked up the ball.Vanderbilt finished off a 90-yard drive with Webbs second TD, an 11-yard run, and a 21-10 lead.THE TAKEAWAYOle Miss: Patterson looked so dazzling in his debut at Texas A&M. But Mason defended the likes of Marcus Mariota while coordinator at Stanford, and that game gave Mason plenty to study of Patterson in the Ole Miss offense. At least the Rebels will be at home trying to become bowl eligible for a fifth straight season, something they havent done since 15 straight bowls between 1957 and 1971.Vanderbilt: Ole Miss first TD came off a muffed punt by Darrius Sims in the first quarter, the kind of mistake that has often soured the Commodores fortunes. This time, they shook off the mistake with their best offensive performance against an SEC opponent in both points and yards (481).UP NEXTOle Miss hosts Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.Vanderbilt hosts in-state rival Tennessee.

He gave the team Saturday off and didnt hold a morning shootaround practice Sunday because of severe weather in the Detroit area.We just werent ready. We were just not ready, Van Gundy told reporters after the loss. Its not that they dont have some responsibility in that, no matter what the conditions. Youre an NBA player. Its your job to be ready to play. But I didnt do my job in getting them ready.Marcus Morris did score a season-high 28, and Andre Drummond recorded his seventh consecutive double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds.Van Gundy experimented in the Philadelphia game with duo point guards Reggie Jackson and Ish Smith together on the floor with starting shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope sitting out with a knee injury. Caldwell-Pope is expected to play against Dallas.That pairing didnt work well against the Sixers, but Van Gundy hope to try it again in an effort to manufacture more offense.The Pistons rank second in terms of opponents points per game, giving up just 96.1 points a game. Theyre also first in fewest turnovers per game, averaging just 11.6 turnovers a contest.Detroit went 1-1 against the Mavericks last season.
