Alabama is facing a different Vanderbilt team to open its Southeastern Conference schedule.
The Commodores are 3-1 and averaging 42 points per game.
Clark Lea, a Vanderbilt alum, is changing the culture of the program in his second year as head coach.
Alabama is hosting the Commodores on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Vanderbilt has two dual-threat quarterbacks in Mike Wright (junior) and AJ Swann (freshman). Wright got benched in the Commodores’ loss to Wake Forest, but he has 10 total touchdowns — including four rushing scores. He is averaging 8.3 yards per carry and 88 yards per game as a runner.
