WHO TO WATCH: It's hard to list just one position for Vanderbilt's D.J. Moore, because he does so many things. He's an All-America junior cornerback who could be playing his last game for the Commodores if he chooses to enter the NFL draft early. But he's also a dangerous return man and caught two touchdown passes this seasons as a receiver. Don't be surprised if Vanderbilt uses him even more on offense today to try and loosen up Boston College's swarming defense.

WHAT TO WATCH: The Commodores need to make something happen in special teams. It was a struggle for them all season on offense, and it's doubtful they're going to transform overnight on that side of the ball. But when they started out 5-0, they were winning the special-teams battle and making key plays on special teams, be it blocking a kick, setting up a touchdown with a long return or pinning teams deep with poor field position.

WHY TO WATCH: Not only is Vanderbilt in its first bowl game in 26 years thanks to a splendid coaching job by Bobby Johnson and his staff, but the Commodores have a chance to win their first bowl game since 1955 when they beat Auburn 25-13 in the Gator Bowl. They get a chance to do it in front of a home crowd at Nashville's LP Field, where the Tennessee Titans play. A win today would also snap a string of 26 straight losing seasons by the Commodores.
