Call this one the Music City Miscue. N.C. State quarterback CJ Bailey fumbled in the end zone while trying to take an intentional safety in the final seconds and essentially handed Vanderbilt a 35-31 victory no one saw coming in Nashville. It was as improbable a finish as the Music City Miracle, the famous last-second kickoff return in January 2000 that gave the NFL’s Tennessee Titans a 22–16 playoff win over the Buffalo Bills. It also was reminiscent of Miami’s debacle against Georgia Tech in October 2023, when the Hurricanes opted against taking a knee and fumbled away a victory.
