NASHVILLE – After all the hype provided from defensive lineman Nifae Lealao and Vanderbilt’s fan base, Alabama’s run game and defense carried it to a 31-0 lead.

Both Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough set the tone, as Harris leads the duo with 109 rushing yards and two touchdowns on nine attempts – including a 61-yard burst to the end zone.

Scarbrough, on the other hand, averaged eight yards per carry with two scores.

Sophomore quarterback Jalen Hurts has not had to do much; however, he did complete eight of 13 pass attempts for 74 yards, with three balls going to wide receiver Calvin Ridley.
