Vanderbilt turned a corner under coach Clark Lea in 2024, posting the program's first winning season in over a decade. The Commodores picked up where they left off to start the new season, breezing by Charleston Southern 42-3 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The college football world saw all of that on display in a 31-17 win over Alabama. But perhaps most jaw-dropping was the physical way in which the Seminoles dominated the Crimson Tide up front. After allowing an opening 75-yard drive, the Florida State defense clamped down from there -- and allowed just 3 yards per rush for the game.
