Vanderbilt snaps losing streak with 25-23 win at Mississippi State

Vanderbilt turned a 16-0 halftime lead into a 25-23 road win, its first SEC victory and first win in Starkville since 1971, ending a five-game skid. Clock control, a run-heavy scoring drive, Taylor’s six field goals—including a 55-yarder—and late defensive and special-teams plays proved decisive; Vanderbilt now turns to Alabama.
