College football fans voted the Commodores as the Pontiac Game Changing Performance for the sixth week of the 2008 NCAA® Football Season. Voting began on Sunday morning and concluded at midnight on Wednesday. ESPN announced Vanderbilt’s Pontiac Game Changing Performance win, on Thursday night, during the Pontiac G6 Halftime Report.
The key moment that led Vanderbilt to a 14-13 victory over Auburn was when backup quarterback Mackenzi Adams hit Justin Wheeler with a 15-yard touchdown in the final seconds of the first half, earning them a Pontiac Game Changing Performance win.
As a result of their win, Vanderbilt has earned a $5,000 contribution from Pontiac to their general scholarship fund. Additionally, as one of the 14 weekly “Pontiac Game Changing Performance” winners, Vanderbilt has the opportunity to compete for the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year. The play selected in fan voting as the best of the year will earn a $100,000 general scholarship contribution from Pontiac.
The Pontiac Game Changing Performance recognizes the most dramatic moments that occur in NCAA games across the country, moments that change the outcome or define a season. The program provides fans the opportunity to vote on the performance they believe is the biggest game changer. The competition began August 31 and will continue for the entire 2008 NCAA® football season.
