Vanderbilt football trolls former Alabama football former Crimson Tide coach still made an appearance coach Nick Saban after win.

The Vanderbilt football program represents Vanderbilt university in the sport of American football. Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia sliced through the Alabama defense through the air and on the ground. He was 16-for-20 for 252 yards and two touchdowns, including the decisive touchdown with 5:07 to play to put Vanderbilt ahead 40-28. Pavia also rushed for 56 yards while using his legs to make plays such as eluding the defense long enough to hoist a 36-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter Vanderbilt (3-2, 1-1) took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter and dictated much of the game against the Crimson Tide (4-1, 1-1). Alabama got within 23-21 with a touchdown drive to open the third quarter, but Pavia made an electric play for a touchdown pass to Junior Sherrill to restore a two-possession lead.

Vanderbilt university football winners and losers With Alabama’s loss, will Ohio State or Texas move to No. 1

It’ll be a surprise if either Texas or Ohio State is not at No. 1 on Sunday’s don’t have to tell you there will be a new No. 1 team in Sunday’s Saturday, Alabama was the team that got upset as the No. 1 Crimson Tide lost 40-35 at Vanderbilt. It was the Commodores’ first win over Alabama in 40 years and the school’s first-ever win over a team ranked in the top five, let alone a team ranked at No. 1.

There’s a decent chance that one of those two teams will lose in Week 7 just like Alabama and Tennessee did on Saturday.

Texas is currently the No. 2 team and didn’t play on Saturday as it prepares for its Red River Rivalry showdown with No. 19 Oklahoma. Texas will be favored in that game, but neutral-site rivalry games can be weird. Just ask the Longhorns. No. 12 Oklahoma beat No. 3 Texas a season ago with a late touchdown. In 2022, Texas demolished Oklahoma 49-0 in a matchup of unranked teams. Four of the last five games in the Cotton Bowl Series have been won by one possession.

Texas could simply move up a spot without playing. But Ohio State could jump the Longhorns thanks to an easy 35-7 win over Iowa. The Hawkeyes were the biggest test to date for Ohio State. And, well, they were an easy test. Iowa didn’t score until the fourth quarter as Ohio State’s defense dominated and the offense kicked it into gear in the third quarter. OSU QB Will Howard threw for four touchdowns. Three went to Emeka Egbuna and the other was a one-handed catch by freshman Jeremiah Smith.

Ohio State has been very good so far this season, even if its fans have been left wanting more. The Buckeyes’ 28-point margin of victory on Saturday was the smallest of the season. Granted, the schedule has featured Akron, Western Michigan, Marshall and Michigan State in addition to Iowa. But that’s still pretty impressive.
