WBFF Fox 45 :: Vanderbilt 40, Kentucky 0
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Vanderbilt dominated Kentucky on offense, defense and special teams Saturday to jump to a 27-point halftime lead and coast to a 40-0 win.
   The Commodores (5-4, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) scored touchdowns on four of their five first-half drives, none of which took longer than 4 minutes, 19 seconds.
   Jordan Rodgers drove Vanderbilt 71 yards on 11 plays to begin the game, ending with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews. Rodgers also threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Chris Boyd in the second quarter and finished 18-of-29 for 220 yards with one interception.
   The Wildcats (1-9, 0-7) were out gained 447 yards to 260, but it was miscues on special teams that hurt them the most. Among the biggest were two calls for interfering with the catch on punts on consecutive second-quarter drives, both of which Vanderbilt turned into touchdowns. Kentucky's Craig McIntosh missed his only field-goal attempt, a 50-yard try.Vanderbilt 40, Kentucky 0

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.

The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.

The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.

Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.

In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
