KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 12 — As 2024 draws to a close, Malaysia reflects on a year marked by political milestones, social upheavals and natural disasters. From Sultan Ibrahim’s ascension as the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong in January to record-breaking floods displacing over 147,000 people in December, the year’s defining moments encapsulate the nation’s triumphs and trials. The year also witnessed poignant moments of public outrage and reform. From the tragic suicide of influencer Esha, which led to new cyberbullying laws, to public criticism over losses in Khazanah and PNB’s Fashion Valet investment, there were calls for greater accountability. Here are the top news highlights for each month in 2024: January: New King Sultan Ibrahim of Johor was officially sworn in as Malaysia’s 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on January 31, succeeding Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah of Pahang, whose five-year term ended on December 31, 2023. February: Najib Razak’s pardon On February 2, the Federal Territories Pardons Board reduced former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 12-year jail sentence to six years . An early release could be possible by August 23, 2028, if Najib pays a reduced fine of RM50 million, down from RM210 million. March: ‘Allah’ socks at KK Mart On March 13, KK Mart faced backlash and nationwide boycotts after socks with the word “Allah” were spotted in one outlet. The controversy sparked protests and three Molotov cocktail attacks, despite the company issuing an apology. April: Navy helicopters collide during rehearsal On April 23, two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters collided during a rehearsal for its 90th anniversary, resulting in 10 injuries and fatalities. May: Acid splashed on national footballer and Ulu Tiram police station attack On May 5, national and Selangor FC footballer Faisal Halim suffered fourth-degree burns after being splashed with acid by an unknown individual. He was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for about 10 days.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh likened Melaka’s appeal to that of China’s Yunnan province. July: Influencer dead after cyberbullying Social media influencer A. Rajeswary Appahu, known as Esha, was found dead in an apparent suicide on July 5. This occurred a day after she filed a police report about online threats. Her death prompted Putrajaya to introduce new cyberbullying laws . August: Indian tourist falls into sinkhole A sinkhole approximately eight metres deep near Jalan Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur swallowed 48-year-old Indian tourist G. Vijaya Lakshmi on August 23. A nine-day search was called off without locating the victim .

The record budget focused on boosting economic growth, raising the minimum wage and addressing subsidies. November: UPNM bullying cases and FashionValet scandal In November 2024, cases of bullying at Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) sparked significant public outrage and official concern, with the most prominent incident involving a first-year student who suffered fractured ribs and spine after allegedly being stomped on by a senior cadet, which reportedly occurred on October 21, but was only reported to the police in early November. Another case involved a senior cadet officer pressing a steam iron on his junior. Meanwhile, sale of Khazanah Nasional and Permodalan Nasional Berhad’s combined RM47 million investment in Fashion Valet for just RM3.1 million sparked public criticism. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ordered an internal audit and instructed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate the Fashion Valet’s owners . The case is ongoing as FashionValet Sdn Bhd founders Datin Vivy Yusof and her husband Datuk Fadzarudin Shah Anuar pleaded not guilty to criminal breach of trust involving RM8 million in investment funds at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on December 5. December: Worst floods since 2014 Heavy rains since November 24 in Kelantan caused severe flash floods, displacing 147,162 individuals from 44,182 families across 10 states , with Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi saying it was worse than the 2014 floods .

November 30 - A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tabVANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted the notice of Lundin Mining's intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB"). View PDF The Company intends to continue to utilize the NCIB at its discretion to make opportunistic purchases to create shareholder value and manage the number of outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"). This approval allows the Company to purchase up to 57,597,388 Common Shares, representing 10% of the 776,914,637 issued and outstanding Common Shares as of December 6, 2024 , minus those Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised by the Company, the senior officers and directors of the Company and every shareholder who owns or exercises control or direction over more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, over a period of twelve months commencing on December 16, 2024 . The NCIB will expire no later than December 15, 2025 . All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, other designated exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable securities laws. In accordance with TSX rules, any daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exemption) on the TSX under the NCIB are limited to a maximum of 560,989 Common Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 2,243,957 Common Shares on the TSX for the six months ended November 30, 2024 . The price that Lundin Mining will pay for Common Shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase. In connection with the NCIB renewal, Lundin Mining entered into an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") with its designated broker to allow for the repurchase of Common Shares at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise (any such period being a "Blackout Period"). Before entering a Blackout Period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the plan. At this time, the Company has not instructed the broker to actively repurchase Common Shares. Purchases made pursuant to the plan, if any, will be made by the Company's designated broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX, applicable Canadian securities laws and the terms of the written agreement entered between the Company and its designated broker. Outside of these Blackout Periods, Common Shares will be purchasable by Lundin Mining at its discretion under its NCIB. The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (i) the purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; (ii) the NCIB expires; and (iii) the ASPP otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms. The ASPP constitutes an "automatic plan" for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and the agreement governing the plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company. Decisions regarding purchases will be based on market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, and other factors. Any Common Shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. Under the Company's previous NCIB that commenced on December 11, 2023 and expired on December 10, 2024 , the Company sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 52,538,870 Common Shares.

A&T State University will be the first public university in the state to offer a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence (AI). While some other North Carolina universities have an artificial intelligence concentration within a computer science degree, A&T will be the only institution to offer the standalone bachelor’s degree. The UNC Board of Governors recently approved the program, and the school hopes to enroll its first students in Fall 2025, according to a news release. “Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are increasingly part of everyday life with the potential for profound and far-reaching impact on virtually every facet of society,” said Chancellor James R. Martin II. "Our new bachelor’s degree will prepare students for immediate impact, especially in the critical area of human interaction with AI.” The program will allow students to enroll in one of two concentrations: Advanced AI Systems, offered through the College of Engineering, and Applied AI in the College of Science and Technology. “Our bachelor’s degree will enable our graduates to help create real world solutions to complex global issues and shape a brighter future through science and technology," said Abdellah Ahmidouch, dean of the university's College of Science and Technology. AI has been a quickly growing industry nationally. According to the most recent Hannover Research report on the AI workforce, “The AI labor market in North Carolina is projected to expand more than three times as fast as the overall labor market, creating over 20,000 new jobs.” “It’s nearly impossible to overestimate the impact of AI in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” said Stephanie Luster-Teasley Pass, dean of the College of Engineering. camdyn.bruce@greensboro.com 336-373-7094 Get our local education coverage delivered directly to your inbox. {{description}} Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.Trump picks Jared Kushner's father Charles to be French Ambassador after 'loathsome' crime

Sydney Warner , the wife of San Francisco 49ers star Fred Warner , didn’t take to WAG life like a moth to a flame. The former Bachelor star, 29, who competed on Peter Weber ’s season in 2020, met Fred, 28, shortly after her time on the reality series came to an end. The couple got married in June 2022 and welcomed their first child, son Beau , in March of this year. While Sydney embraces life as a football wife now, she’ll be the first to tell you it took some adjusting. “You find your footing,” said Sydney, who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly via her partnership with The Cocktail Collection. “I think it took me a while to find my niche and where I felt comfortable being a wife, now a mother, a girlfriend at the time. Now I’m Fred’s partner and we’re a duo. That’s an amazing thing to say.” Sydney continued, “As a team, we work really well together. It’s just nice being able to be a teammate with him and me finding my footing, as well. I think it’s just a timing thing. And it’s all worked out.” The 49ers have amassed a crew of WAGs — an acronym for “wives and girlfriends” — that’s equally as A-list, if not more, than their partners on the field. Kristin Juszcyzk , wife of fullback Kyle Juszczyk , has designed apparel for Taylor Swift . Claire Kittle , the wife of tight end George Kittle , has become a style icon of her own and appeared on Netflix’s Receiver alongside her husband. Olivia Culpo , wife of running back Christian McCaffrey , earned a Miss USA title and massive social media fame well before she even met her husband. For all the attention surrounding the team, both on and off the gridiron, Sydney said the Niners family is one of support and empowerment. “It was a lot different back in the beginning, but now there’s this huge community of working women,” Sydney gushed. “The women are kind of in the spotlight now, which is such a refreshing thing to see. It’s really cool to see how things change, you know?” Sydney added, “To be with such an amazing community and organization like the Niners, I couldn’t have asked for a better situation. We’re so happy to be here and so blessed.” You have successfully subscribed.

star has undergone multiple treatments on his left hamstring and is not close to a return to action, sources told ESPN on Friday. Williamson, who has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring strain on Nov. 6, will be out for an extended period of time longer, sources said. The Pelicans have been bracing for Williamson to be sidelined for at least four to six weeks, which places him out through mid-December, but his absence could extend beyond that as he rehabilitates a body part that has sustained multiple strains over the past few years. Williamson has been limited to just six of New Orleans' 16 games this year. The injury was a devastating blow for the Pelicans and Williamson, who team officials believe has been in the best shape of his career. Since the Pelicans selected Williamson first overall out of Duke in the 2019 draft, the 6-foot-6, 284-pound power forward has missed 210 out of a possible 400 regular-season games. Injuries have been the story of the season so far for New Orleans. Key offseason acquisition fractured his hand in the team's season opener while , , and have also been sidelined at points this season. At 4-12, the Pelicans have the second-worst record in the Western Conference having lost three straight and nine of their past 10 games. New Orleans plays at in an NBA Cup game Friday night.NASHVILLE, Tenn (AP) — Nico Iamaleava threw for 257 yards and four touchdowns rallying No. 7 Tennessee from a 14-point deficit within the first five minutes to rout in-state rival Vanderbilt 36-23 Saturday. “Man, it couldn't have started any worse,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel told his Vols postgame . “And you know what? Competitive composure ... You just kept coming. That's what elite people, champions do. You just keep coming.” The Volunteers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference; No. 8 CFP) needed a big victory to impress the College Football Playoff committee enough to earn a home playoff game in December. They beat Vanderbilt (6-6, 3-5) for a sixth straight season leaving the Commodores needing to win their bowl game to post their first winning record since 2013. Better yet, the Vols rebounded from a nightmare start giving up the first 14 points by scoring 29 straight points. They led 24-17 at halftime on Iamaleava's first three TD passes. “Once they took the momentum, we kind of allowed them to have it for the rest of the game," Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said. "And you got to credit Tennessee. I mean, obviously, they were playing for the playoffs and credit coach Heupel and his team for their winning performance.” Junior Sherrill returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown for Vanderbilt to stun a mostly orange crowd. Dylan Sampson fumbled on the Vols’ second play from scrimmage, and Sedrick Alexanader's 4-yard TD run on a 26-yard drive put Vandy up 14-0 quickly. Then Iamaleava got Tennessee going with a 28-yard TD pass to Dont’e Thornton Jr. Tennessee got a break when Max Gilbert's 50-yard field goal bounced off the crossbar and over. Iamaleava found Thornton again on an 86-yard catch-and-run TD, then he tossed an 18-yard TD pass to Miles Kitselman just before halftime. Iamaleava capped the opening drive of the third quarter hitting Mike Matthews with a 14-yard TD pass for a 31-17 lead. The Vols added a safety by Tyre West and another Gilbert field goal. Diego Pavia threw a 31-yard TD pass to Richie Hoskins late with Vandy's 2-point conversion failing for the final margin. Tennessee didn't make a good early impression with yet another slow start. The Vols need to hope for some help to have a chance at moving up a spot or two . The big question is whether the Vols get to host a playoff game in December at Neyland Stadium where they went undefeated this season. Tennessee put together TD drives of 91 and 96 yards in the first half alone. The Vols then beat Vandy at its own game of keepaway after not even managing 10 minutes of possession in the first half. They finished with the edge in that stat outgaining Vandy 538-212. Vanderbilt had some of the best offensive success against Tennessee of any opponent this season. The Commodores had 114 yards rushing and 17 points by halftime against a defense that came in ranked sixth nationally allowing just 98.8 yards a game. The Vols had been fourth in the country giving up just 13.1 points a game having held 10 of 11 opponents under 20 points this season. But Lea said the Commodores ran just 11 plays to Tennessee's 44 after halftime. The Tennessee running back, who set the program record with 22 rushing TDs this season, didn't reach the end zone for the first time this season. Sampson finished with 178 yards rushing to reach 1,485 yards for the season, topping the school mark of 1,464 set by Travis Stephens in 2001.

November 30 - A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tabVANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted the notice of Lundin Mining's intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB").

A&T State University will be the first public university in the state to offer a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence (AI). While some other North Carolina universities have an artificial intelligence concentration within a computer science degree, A&T will be the only institution to offer the standalone bachelor’s degree. The UNC Board of Governors recently approved the program, and the school hopes to enroll its first students in Fall 2025, according to a news release. “Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are increasingly part of everyday life with the potential for profound and far-reaching impact on virtually every facet of society,” said Chancellor James R. Martin II. "Our new bachelor’s degree will prepare students for immediate impact, especially in the critical area of human interaction with AI.” The program will allow students to enroll in one of two concentrations: Advanced AI Systems, offered through the College of Engineering, and Applied AI in the College of Science and Technology. “Our bachelor’s degree will enable our graduates to help create real world solutions to complex global issues and shape a brighter future through science and technology," said Abdellah Ahmidouch, dean of the university's College of Science and Technology. AI has been a quickly growing industry nationally. According to the most recent Hannover Research report on the AI workforce, “The AI labor market in North Carolina is projected to expand more than three times as fast as the overall labor market, creating over 20,000 new jobs.” “It’s nearly impossible to overestimate the impact of AI in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” said Stephanie Luster-Teasley Pass, dean of the College of Engineering. camdyn.bruce@greensboro.com 336-373-7094 Get our local education coverage delivered directly to your inbox. {{description}} Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.Trump picks Jared Kushner's father Charles to be French Ambassador after 'loathsome' crime

Sydney Warner , the wife of San Francisco 49ers star Fred Warner , didn’t take to WAG life like a moth to a flame. The former Bachelor star, 29, who competed on Peter Weber ’s season in 2020, met Fred, 28, shortly after her time on the reality series came to an end. The couple got married in June 2022 and welcomed their first child, son Beau , in March of this year. While Sydney embraces life as a football wife now, she’ll be the first to tell you it took some adjusting. “You find your footing,” said Sydney, who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly via her partnership with The Cocktail Collection. “I think it took me a while to find my niche and where I felt comfortable being a wife, now a mother, a girlfriend at the time. Now I’m Fred’s partner and we’re a duo. That’s an amazing thing to say.” Sydney continued, “As a team, we work really well together. It’s just nice being able to be a teammate with him and me finding my footing, as well. I think it’s just a timing thing. And it’s all worked out.” The 49ers have amassed a crew of WAGs — an acronym for “wives and girlfriends” — that’s equally as A-list, if not more, than their partners on the field. Kristin Juszcyzk , wife of fullback Kyle Juszczyk , has designed apparel for Taylor Swift . Claire Kittle , the wife of tight end George Kittle , has become a style icon of her own and appeared on Netflix’s Receiver alongside her husband. Olivia Culpo , wife of running back Christian McCaffrey , earned a Miss USA title and massive social media fame well before she even met her husband. For all the attention surrounding the team, both on and off the gridiron, Sydney said the Niners family is one of support and empowerment. “It was a lot different back in the beginning, but now there’s this huge community of working women,” Sydney gushed. “The women are kind of in the spotlight now, which is such a refreshing thing to see. It’s really cool to see how things change, you know?” Sydney added, “To be with such an amazing community and organization like the Niners, I couldn’t have asked for a better situation. We’re so happy to be here and so blessed.” You have successfully subscribed.

I knew I was going to be hosting and having people over, with watch parties and excitement for the games. The whole dynamic of being an easy, ready-to-pour cocktail was music to my ears.” This fall, The Cocktail Collection introduced their newest variety, the Crown Royal Whisky Sour with Black Cherry, which is available now.
MONEY WON’T SLEEPEmboldened 'manosphere' accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election
star has undergone multiple treatments on his left hamstring and is not close to a return to action, sources told ESPN on Friday. Williamson, who has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring strain on Nov. 6, will be out for an extended period of time longer, sources said. The Pelicans have been bracing for Williamson to be sidelined for at least four to six weeks, which places him out through mid-December, but his absence could extend beyond that as he rehabilitates a body part that has sustained multiple strains over the past few years. Williamson has been limited to just six of New Orleans' 16 games this year. The injury was a devastating blow for the Pelicans and Williamson, who team officials believe has been in the best shape of his career. Since the Pelicans selected Williamson first overall out of Duke in the 2019 draft, the 6-foot-6, 284-pound power forward has missed 210 out of a possible 400 regular-season games. Injuries have been the story of the season so far for New Orleans. Key offseason acquisition fractured his hand in the team's season opener while , , and have also been sidelined at points this season. At 4-12, the Pelicans have the second-worst record in the Western Conference having lost three straight and nine of their past 10 games. New Orleans plays at in an NBA Cup game Friday night.NASHVILLE, Tenn (AP) — Nico Iamaleava threw for 257 yards and four touchdowns rallying No. 7 Tennessee from a 14-point deficit within the first five minutes to rout in-state rival Vanderbilt 36-23 Saturday. “Man, it couldn't have started any worse,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel told his Vols postgame . “And you know what? Competitive composure ... You just kept coming. That's what elite people, champions do. You just keep coming.” The Volunteers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference; No. 8 CFP) needed a big victory to impress the College Football Playoff committee enough to earn a home playoff game in December. They beat Vanderbilt (6-6, 3-5) for a sixth straight season leaving the Commodores needing to win their bowl game to post their first winning record since 2013. Better yet, the Vols rebounded from a nightmare start giving up the first 14 points by scoring 29 straight points. They led 24-17 at halftime on Iamaleava's first three TD passes. “Once they took the momentum, we kind of allowed them to have it for the rest of the game," Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said. "And you got to credit Tennessee. I mean, obviously, they were playing for the playoffs and credit coach Heupel and his team for their winning performance.” Junior Sherrill returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown for Vanderbilt to stun a mostly orange crowd. Dylan Sampson fumbled on the Vols’ second play from scrimmage, and Sedrick Alexanader's 4-yard TD run on a 26-yard drive put Vandy up 14-0 quickly. Then Iamaleava got Tennessee going with a 28-yard TD pass to Dont’e Thornton Jr. Tennessee got a break when Max Gilbert's 50-yard field goal bounced off the crossbar and over. Iamaleava found Thornton again on an 86-yard catch-and-run TD, then he tossed an 18-yard TD pass to Miles Kitselman just before halftime. Iamaleava capped the opening drive of the third quarter hitting Mike Matthews with a 14-yard TD pass for a 31-17 lead. The Vols added a safety by Tyre West and another Gilbert field goal. Diego Pavia threw a 31-yard TD pass to Richie Hoskins late with Vandy's 2-point conversion failing for the final margin. Tennessee didn't make a good early impression with yet another slow start. The Vols need to hope for some help to have a chance at moving up a spot or two . The big question is whether the Vols get to host a playoff game in December at Neyland Stadium where they went undefeated this season. Tennessee put together TD drives of 91 and 96 yards in the first half alone. The Vols then beat Vandy at its own game of keepaway after not even managing 10 minutes of possession in the first half. They finished with the edge in that stat outgaining Vandy 538-212. Vanderbilt had some of the best offensive success against Tennessee of any opponent this season. The Commodores had 114 yards rushing and 17 points by halftime against a defense that came in ranked sixth nationally allowing just 98.8 yards a game. The Vols had been fourth in the country giving up just 13.1 points a game having held 10 of 11 opponents under 20 points this season. But Lea said the Commodores ran just 11 plays to Tennessee's 44 after halftime. The Tennessee running back, who set the program record with 22 rushing TDs this season, didn't reach the end zone for the first time this season. Sampson finished with 178 yards rushing to reach 1,485 yards for the season, topping the school mark of 1,464 set by Travis Stephens in 2001.
