Vandy tries to top No. 2 Alabama for first time since 1984
Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea was on the verge of his third birthday, Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" was the top song on the Billboard charts, and the first episode of the daily syndicated version of "Jeopardy!" had just premiered.
It was September 1984. And it was also the last time Vanderbilt beat Alabama.
