They’re calling it college football’s version of the Music City Miracle.
Vanderbilt made history on Saturday, knocking off No. 1 Alabama 40-35. It marked the Commodores’ first-ever win over an AP top-five team and just the fourth time Alabama has lost as a No. 1 team to an unranked opponent.
Diego Pavia was the star of the game for the Commodores, passing for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed 20 times for 57 yards. Vanderbilt jumped out to a 13-0 lead on a Sedrick Alexander 7-yard touchdown run and a 24-yard interception return by Randon Fontenette halfway through the first quarter.
