A blown transformer fuse at Vanderbilt Stadium briefly knocked out four banks of lights during the Commodores' game with Georgia.

The transformer blew with 2:53 left in the first half Saturday night, taking out two sets of lights near midfield behind the Vanderbilt bench. Two banks on the other side of the field were also out. The game continued, and Georgia took a 20-7 lead into halftime.

The outage left a section of seating in the shadows with the lights dim to the right hash mark on Georgia's side of the field from the 30-yard line into one end zone. Workers fixed the blown fuse to get three of the four lights back on early in the third quarter. The fourth remained dark to avoid overloading the fuse.
