What did we learn about Alabama after its shocking loss to Vanderbilt?

Many fans of Alabama football woke up Sunday morning still in disbelief over what happened against Vanderbilt.

Alabama traveled to Nashville (Tenn.) in the Kalen DeBoer in search of its fifth win, but it returned home with its first loss of the DeBoer era that shocked everyone. The Commodores earned a 40-35 victory at FirstBank Stadium, handing Tide fans its worst loss to an unranked team since 2007 versus Louisiana-Monroe. Most see this defeat as worse than UL-Monroe because that was Nick Saban’s first season with the Tide, and he was trying to build something great. Saban handed DeBoer a fully loaded team with brand backing and resources, yet it fell to Vanderbilt.
