A feeling of expectation is alive in Nashville as the Vanderbilt Commodores look to upset top-ranked Alabama at home. Vandy endured a 34-0 defeat at the hands of head coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide in 2011 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
After having some issues with consistency in week one versus Florida State, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll wants to establish Jalen Hurts and the running game early against another solid unit.
Since its three-sack performance of Deondre Francois, Alabama’s defensive front has struggled to affect quarterbacks. With the returns of Rashaan Evans and Anfernee Jennings at linebacker, Jeremy Pruitt is ready to let loose on Vandy.
