Livvy Dunne mocked Nick Saban for his viral Vanderbilt Alabama quote

LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne made the most of her appearance on ESPN College game day on Saturday in Baton Rouge.

As one of two celebrity guest players alongside her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, Dunne took the pick between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the No. 1 team. 24 Vanderbilt Commodores took a funny shot at former Alabama coach Nick Saban.

“Someone once said Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC,” Dunne said, looking at Saban. “But not today. I’m going with Vanderbilt.”

Dunne is referring to comments from Saban in September in which he claimed the only home stadium in the SEC that wasn't difficult to play in was FirstBank Stadium, the longtime home of the Commodores.

Two weeks after Saban's comments, Vanderbilt upset then-top-ranked Alabama 40-35 in front of 28,934 fans at FirstBank Stadium, marking the Commodores' first victory over the Crimson Tide since 1984, according to speakers.

Vanderbilt and South Carolina are scheduled to face each other at 4:15 p.m. ET in Nashville, Tennessee. But Dunne, Skenes and the rest of the college football world will be turning their attention to the matchup between No. 11 Alabama and No. 14 LSU at 7:30 p.m. ET at Tiger Stadium.
