Vanderbilt Upsets No. 1 Alabama 40-35

Vanderbilt achieved a historic upset by defeating No. 1 Alabama 40-35, marking their first win over the Crimson Tide since 1984. The victory was particularly significant as it was Vanderbilt's first against a top-five team, ending a 0-60 streak. Nick Saban's previous comments about Vanderbilt lacking a hostile environment were brought up by fans, highlighting how they motivated the Commodores during the game. Alabama's Jalen Milroe struggled, throwing a pick-six and fumbling late in the game, while Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia excelled in his performance. Meanwhile, Saban's lighthearted banter continued on ESPN's College GameDay, where he joked with Mario Cristobal about their recruiting days and his departure from the Miami Dolphins. Saban's candidness and humor contrasted with the pressure on the Alabama team following their shocking loss.
