Going into Saturday, we thought that if Vanderbilt brought its A-game and Alabama didn’t, Vanderbilt had a chance. If Vanderbilt brought its A-game and Alabama also brought its A-game, Vanderbilt was probably going to lose.
And if Alabama brought its A++-game and Vanderbilt brought something considerably less than its A-game, you got ... well, that.
I didn’t really want to do the Statistical today, mostly because I’d rather simply forget that that game even happened, but the Five Factors box score shows just how complete this loss was. The “N/A” next to points per trip inside the 40 is a nice touch, because Vanderbilt didn’t come anywhere close to scoring in this game.
