Vanderbilt Commodores Pull off Historic Upset Against Alabama Crimson Tide thanks to New Mexico State Influence
In a shocking turn of events, the Vanderbilt Commodores, long regarded as the underdogs of college football, defeated the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide on October 5th. This victory came after a season of losses in the SEC, leading head coach Clark Lea to recruit key members from the New Mexico State Aggies, who had previously upset the Auburn Tigers with clever coaching tactics and an underrated quarterback.
Lea brought on board quarterback Diego Pavia and five Aggies coaches, including offensive coordinator Tim Beck and head coach Jerry Kill. This new talent infusion seemed to have inspired a turnaround for the Commodores, as they became bowl eligible for the first time in years. Regardless of the rest of the season’s outcome, Vanderbilt made history with this unexpected victory thanks to the influence of the New Mexico State team.
Written by Cole Villena, Associate Editor of the Nashville Scene, the college football world rejoices and marvels at the Commodores’ triumph over Alabama, proving the power of strategic recruitment and coaching in the sport.
