Alabama football got the revenge it was seeking on Saturday, defeating Vanderbilt 30-14 in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama handed Vanderbilt its first loss of the season, and it was the fourth consecutive win for the Crimson Tide after a disheartening season-opening loss to Florida State in Tallahassee.
Alabama looks like a different team now than it did in Week 1. It got an expected fight from Vanderbilt. The Commodores led 7-0 early, and the game was tied 14-14 at halftime, but the Crimson Tide dominated the second half, outscoring the Commodores 16-0 over the game's final 30 minutes to secure a 2-0 start in SEC play.
