Steve Spurrier Uses One Word To Sum Up Alabama's Loss To Vanderbilt
© Matt Stamey-USA TODAY Sports
Appearing on Another Dooley Noted Podcast, college football legend Steve Spurrier called the Vanderbilt win over Alabama a "stunner" and explained why...
quote:

“That was a stunner,” Spurrier said. “Yeah, I drove in. I come in a little early to beat the crowd to watch the Gator game. And so I’m flipping around up there, and I flipped around the Vandy-Alabama game, gee, Vandy is up 23 to 14? So I watched the rest of it all the way through. And then the media boys up in the press box, our game was about to kick off at almost eight o’clock, so all the media guys up there got a chance to watch the end of it. But it’s really interesting …

“Here’s how it happened. Last year, New Mexico State beat Auburn at Auburn, 31-10, and they went up and down the field, gained about 450 yards, and had a quarterback named Diego Pavia, and they run the pistol offense, and Auburn couldn’t stop them. They were on the field about the whole game, just like they were against Alabama.”

“So Clark Lea, the Vandy coach, he sees that tape, and he goes out there, and he gets a Pavia to come to Vanderbilt and a couple of his teammates and two or three guys, and he brings his offensive coordinator, a guy named Tim Beck,” Spurrier said. “But Clark Lea did not mention Tim Beck’s name in all his interviews. And I kept telling people, whoever that offensive coordinator is, he’s gonna be a head coach somewhere real soon or something, because the offense that they put on Vanderbilt, 12 of 18 on third down conversions, they had about 42 minutes (of possession).

A sign of things to come. The Georgia win was a fleeting remnant of the Saban days.

I guess maybe e figures a college guy can figure out the key word was stunner. He may have over judged you though.
