A 41-7 score line is what happens when a handful of coverage mix-ups by the defense are paired with missed opportunities by the offense. With the score 14-0, Randall Haynie picked off a pass and slipped down at the Vanderbilt 42. Eight plays later, due in large part to a 40-yard pass from Ken Seals to Cam Johnson, Seals would find TE Ben Bresnahan with a dart in the end zone. Vanderbilt trailed 14-7 5 minutes from halftime against the defending national champs. Then Elijah Hamilton, replacing the injured Jaylen Mahoney at Nickel back, would give Terrance Marshall Jr too much space to catch then ball AND fall over his own feet at the catch to allow a 51-yard response TD.
