The Commodores stunned Tennessee 45-24 at Neyland Stadium, powered by Sedrick Alexander's three rushing touchdowns including scoring runs of 28 and 39 yards. After a back-and-forth first half that ended tied at 21, Vanderbilt dominated the second half by outscoring the Volunteers 24-3. Diego Pavia contributed both through the air and on the ground, throwing a touchdown pass to Tre Richardson and adding a crucial 24-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to help seal the impressive road victory.
