Vanderbilt pulled off a generational upset of Alabama today, making critical plays down the stretch to fend of the Tide's comeback attempt to take home the 40-35 win.
The Commodores sealed the win with a few crucial first downs before earning the opportunity to kneel it out in the victory formation.
After the final kneel of the game, as the field was being stormed, Vanderbilt was hanging on to the most perfect clip to play in the moment.
They dug up a clip of Nick Saban saying "The only place that's not hard to play in the SEC is Vanderbilt."
Before this win, Vandy was 0-60 all-time against AP top 5 teams and the win snapped a 23-game losing streak to the Tide.
Timing is everything in college football.
