The 500 win milestone mark was finally made by the 1993 Vanderbilt football team. The 500th win was on October 9, 1993 against Cincinnati with a 17–7 win.
In 1995, the NCAA found Antonio Langham guilty of receiving improper benefits after signing with an agent following the 1992 season, forcing Alabama to forfeit all games in which Langham competed.[1] Vanderbilt does not count the forfeit as a win.[2]
