Wright ignites Vanderbilt in 63-10 romp over Hawaii

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! HONOLULU — Mike Wright factored into four touchdowns and Vanderbilt used a 35-point third quarter to pull away from Hawaii 63-10 in a season opener on Saturday. “I thought we really battled back and the pain that we went through a year ago and having early setbacks there was a different feel on the field.” Hawaii opened the game by driving 75 yards in eight plays, capped by Dedrick Parson’s 37-yard TD run to take an early lead. THE TAKEAWAY Vanderbilt: After it averaged just 15.8 points and 312.6 yards per game, Saturday’s prolific production is a promising sign for a team that lost its final seven games of 2021 and was picked by league media to finish last in the SEC East this fall. Hawaii: The first game of the Chang era was far from pretty, but after a tumultuous off-season that saw the resignation of Todd Graham following a large amount of outgoing transfers — including a number of starters — optimism around the program and support for its former record-setting quarterback should remain throughout his first season as coach at his alma mater.
