In case you're wondering what happened after the last time Vandy beat Bama back in 1984, 40 years ago, we'll tell yoyu. The Dores moved to 4-0 with that win, but promptly lost to Tulane and dropped ix of their next seven games to miss out on what surely seemed a bowl invite. In 2024, however, it looks to be a different group of Dores, because of the New Mexico State connection, which on the field means QB Diego Pavia, whose moxie and versatility is far different than the normal Vandy QBs like AJ Swann and Ken Seals that we have seen in recent years. The Dores are also a sparkling 3-0 as an underdog thus far in 2024. While stout defensively, Kentucky isn't the most-explosive team in the SEC, and Georgia transfer QB Brock Vandagriff has had his ups and downs this season. Mark Stoops would gladly get out of this weekend with any sort of a win. Play Vanderbilt
