Alabama manhandles Vanderbilt in league's showcase game

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Damien Harris ran for a career-high 151 yards and three touchdowns, Bo Scarbrough added two TDs and top-ranked Alabama routed Vanderbilt 59-0 Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Alabama (4-0) now has won 19 straight over the SEC East. Better yet, the Crimson Tide hasn't lost to Vanderbilt since 1984 or in Nashville since 1969. Both streaks were assured at the end of the first quarter with Alabama up 21-0 after the second of Harris' TDs.

Better yet, coach Nick Saban thinks his Crimson Tide finally responded to his challenge to do more than just win by dominating an opponent for a full 60 minutes.
