The BCS has had its fair share of shake ups the last couple weeks. With Oklahoma losing to Texas Tech and Michigan St. beating Wisconsin on a “hail mary” pass, this week was sure to be pretty normal, right? As Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast my friend.”Clemson failed to get passed Georgia Tech to notch their first loss of the year and a thrilling triple overtime game in Los Angeles was the perfect way to cap off the day. Heisman contending quarterback Andrew Luck and Stanford snuck out a win 56-48 against USC to keep their undefeated record and hopes of a National Championship alive. Oklahoma St. also kept their undefeated record in tact with a huge 59-24 win over Baylor. Oklahoma St. is ranked number 3 in the BCS Standing behind LSU and Alabama. Vanderbilt was leading the number 10 ranked team in the nation, Arkansas, with only the fourth quarter to play. After driving down to the 3 yard line Vandy running back Zac Stacy fumbled and the fumble was returned by Arkansas for a touchdown. After converting on the two-point conversion, the game was tied 28-28. Arkansas got a field goal with 3:42 left in the fourth quarter to go up 31-28. However, Vandy never gave up. They drove the length of the field and set up kicker Carey Spear with a 27 yard attempt to tie the game. Spear pushed the kick right and Vanderbilt lost a heartbreaker 31-28. Coach James Franklin was encouraged by the game, “We’re going to find ways to finish games like this,” Franklin said. Vandy is 4-4 on...

Scott Sanderson and his team will open up the season tonight with an exhibition game against the Freed Hardman Lions in Allen Arena. You can follow all of the action here with our live blog. “We want to learn what our guys can and can’t do in a game setting,” Sanderson said. “I know what they can and can’t do in practice. I want to see what they can do with people in the stands.” Expected starters for the Bisons are four familiar faces in Justin Glenn, Jordan Burgason, Jacob Arnett and Robert Boyd. The fifth start is yet to be known, but all signs are pointing to a freshman getting the nod tonight. Sanderson stresses he will be watching all of his players, but he will be taking a long look at the play of forward Malcolm Smith and power forward Marvin Williams, both freshmen. “The two news guys that I really want to see what they can do with people in the stands are probably Marvin Williams and Malcolm Smith,” Sanderson said. “I want to see in a game setting if they can think and play the game the way we have practiced.” The two teams have not met since Nov. 5, 2009. The tip is at 6:30 p.m. ...

Students in the Lipscomb Run Club will race in a Zombie 5K this Saturday at the riverfront. Three undergraduate students and two graduate students plan to participate in the Zombie Buffet 5K, a benefit event for the Nashville Rescue Mission. The race will include runners and zombies who chase them. If the runners get caught, they will be transformed into zombies and begin to pursue other runners. Dominique Jacoy, graduate assistant for wellness, is head of the Run Club and said the race should be fun for everyone involved. “I love wacky stuff like this,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. The only thing is that my team has been training really hard for a 5K, but when someone else is chasing you that’s a whole other story.” Jacoy said she thinks the race might be a little scary for participants but should have a good turn out because of its unusual nature. “The fun races always attract a lot of people,” she said, adding that it benefits a good cause as well.” The Zombie 5K starts at 11 a.m. and aims to raise $100,000 for the Nashville Rescue Mission. The race is sponsored by Backyard Burgers, 96.3 Jack FM, The Score, Greater Nashville House and Home, Fleet Feet Sports, Hob Nob and Bloc 434 Productions. Jacoy said Lipscomb’s running club started in September with 17 people. The initial participants determined how competitive they wanted the club to be and when they wanted to practice. The team runs at 6:30 a.m. two days each week and once on Sunday afternoons. “It’s a dedication...
