It is the opposite of “a true pyrrhic victory”, which is a victory, the attaining of which, cost more than the benefits. While we paid a price for the Vandy victory, I don’t think anyone would take a deal to return all the injured to good health and to pay for it by taking a loss to Vandy. THAT’s what it would take to qualify as a true pyrrhic victory.
Now, had you left out “true” we could assume you were writing figuratively; you knew it didn’t actually qualify as a pyrrhic victory; but you were using hyperbole.

No. A Pyrrhic victory means the result came at too great a cost, and thus was not worth it.
If it were a true Pyrrhic victory, then we would prefer to have lost to Vanderbilt and kept our players healthy.
That’s not the case.
