The idea of "complementary football" is an old coaching cliche, but it was on full display in Vanderbilt's upset of No. 1 Alabama as the Commodores' offense, defense and special worked in perfect synergy to create an unforgettable outcome.

Alabama had not lost to Vanderbilt since 1984, while Vanderbilt had never before defeated a No. 1 team. That all changed

Just one week removed from a massive home victory over then-ranked No. 2 Georgia, the No. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide have fallen from the ranks of the unbeaten. The unranked Vanderbilt Commodores stunned the top-ranked Crimson Tide, 40-35 on Saturday evening in college football's biggest upset of the season to-date.
