Vanderbilt stormed back from a 20-10 halftime deficit to shock Virginia Tech 44-20 at Lane Stadium with 34 unanswered second-half points. Diego Pavia sparked the Commodores' comeback with two touchdown passes, while Sedrick Alexander delivered the knockout blow with a pair of fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns. The Hokies, who controlled the first half behind Kyron Drones' passing and rushing scores, couldn't muster any offense after halftime as Vanderbilt completely flipped the script.
