00:00Upset of the day, upset of the season, if you will. Vanderbilt over there in Nashville.

00:08They get the big score 40 to 35 over the Crimson Titan. I can confirm there is a set of goalposts

00:15laying in some river up there in Nashville and the party continues. 22 and a half point

00:20favourites had to cover three touchdowns. Bama couldn't even win this one straight up.

00:25They're behind from the jump and they never really got back into this one. Rich, watching

00:29this game play out, I thought surely the luck is going to come to a halt here for Vanderbilt

00:33late in this game. It just never happened.

00:36Yeah, I mean, a few takeaways. First off, I wish I saw this one coming. I did not. I

00:42mean, it's fair to say, Dubs, we've been following sports for many years. Let down a possibility,

00:47right? I mean, intensity so high in Tuscaloosa last week, that wild finish against Georgia.

00:54Bama pulls it out. To your point, they rise to number one in the AP poll. So a little

00:58bit of letdown in the first half. Okay, that's fine. I understand that. These are still kids.

01:02But by the second half, that to me was the stunning part of this. Because every time

01:06Alabama closed, they got close. They got within one score. Vanderbilt answered. And my big

01:13takeaway here is for every Vanderbilt, for every Minnesota, for every Iowa State, Washington

01:20State, Oregon State, every small school in this day and age can rebuild very quickly

01:25if you get the right quarterback. And that's exactly what Clark Lee did. He goes to New

01:30Mexico State, Diego Pavia. Dubs, he's more than a quarterback. This is a heart and soul

01:36type player. He's a glue player. This is the third time in his career that he has been

01:42the winning quarterback when his team was more than a three touchdown underdog. Because

01:47he's special. He has given Vandy an identity. They have not had that since James Franklin

01:52was in Nashville. I love this kid. What he does to that program is remarkable. Just two

01:58touchdowns today didn't matter. He was the story and Clark Lee and what he's done at

02:04Vanderbilt has been the story. Just a remarkable win for the Commodores today.
