Some final notes

By Jay Morrison | Thursday, August 28, 2008, 10:38 PM

Vanderbilt quarterback Chris Nickson rushed for a career-high 166 yards on 20 carries in his team’s 34-13 victory, leading the Commodores to their biggest road win since 1991. The last time a Miami team gave up more than 34 points in an opener was 1978, a 38-14 loss to Ball State.

Early to rise: Thursday’s game equaled the earliest start to a season in the 121-year history of Miami football. The RedHawks also opened the 2004 season on Aug. 28, beating Indiana State 49-0 at Yager Stadium.

Bad start: The 17 first-quarter points Miami allowed were the most in an opening quarter since the RedHawks surrendered 18 in a 42-14 loss to Bowling Green on Nov. 16, 2005.
