In a stunning upset, Vanderbilt defeated top-ranked Alabama 40-35, marking the Commodores’ first win over a top-five team in 60 games. Sedrick Alexander scored two touchdowns, Randon Fontenette had a Pick-6, and Diego Pavia outplayed Heisman candidate Jalen Milroe. Vanderbilt took a 16-point lead in the game, their largest ever over a No. 1 team. Despite Alabama rallying, Vanderbilt capitalized on mistakes and penalties, including two turnovers by Milroe. Pavia sealed the victory with a touchdown pass to Kamrean Johnson. The win was coach Clark Lea’s biggest ever and the Commodores’ first over Alabama in 40 years. Vanderbilt fans and players celebrated as they ended the game with Pavia kneeling down to run out the clock.
