Vanderbilt stuns Alabama to shake up SEC, College Football Playoff

From then on, Vanderbilt took control. A field goal made it 33-28, and then a sack by Milroe forced a fumble that was recovered by Commodores defender Yilanan Ouattara. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia found Kamrean Johnson for a 6-yard touchdown to cap the ensuing drive and push the lead to 40-28.

Alabama scored a late touchdown on the Williams run, but Vanderbilt was able to run out the clock as Pavia and the offense converted three first downs

Alabama's loss leaves Texas, Texas A&M, LSU and Tennessee as the SEC's undefeated teams with seven weeks left in the conference race. The Tide still have hope of winning the league title or securing a playoff spot, but their margin for error became significantly smaller with a loss.
