The unranked Vanderbilt Commodores shocked the world Saturday and defeated the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide with a stunning 40–35 victory at FirstBank Stadium.
Vanderbilt entered the day 2–2, with wins over Virginia Tech and Alcorn State but was coming off back-to-back losses against Georgia State and No. 7 Missouri. Alabama was fresh off an emotional 41–34 win over No. 2 Georgia last week—and clearly overlooked the pesky Commodores.
