Vanderbilt’s win over Kentucky on Saturday was one of the biggest victories of the day, as the Commodores secured their first SEC win since 2019. It also means Vanderbilt will finish the season with at least four victories since they won six in ’18.
In his second season, coach Clark Lea acknowledged how tough it has been for the team the past few years. After the game, he gave an emotional interview explaining why this win meant a lot.
“You’ve got a bunch of guys that are fighting, and we’re building a program,” Lea said, fighting through tears.
