It took until week four of the 2022 season for this Alabama team to put a complete game together to look like the overwhelming favorite it was coming into the season, but that’s exactly what happened last night. Yes, it was Vanderbilt and the point spread was 40 for a reason, but how you play matters far more than who you play. Or it should, anyway, and that is probably a battle the coaching staff deals with from time to time.
Not in this one, though.
After a bit of a slow start that saw the Tide punt on their first possession and allow a decent drive for a field goal on Vanderbilt’s second possession, Alabama put the hammer down and didn’t let up for the entire four quarters.
