Just as he does every week, Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea gathered his team for film review last Sunday, one day after the Commodores’ miraculous 35-31 win over N.C. State.

One of the clips he shared — to the surprise of nobody — was the game-winning play, when Myles Capers forced an end zone fumble from Wolfpack quarterback C.J. Bailey, one that teammate Cayden Daniels recovered for a touchdown with a single second remaining.
