After being ranked as the new No. 1 team in college football, the Alabama Crimson Tide will hit the road Saturday for the second time this season, as the program travels to face the Vanderbilt Commodores in SEC play.
While the Commodores are an opponent that Alabama is certainly familiar with, the Crimson Tide have not necessarily played Vanderbilt as much in recent years, squaring off only three times since 2011. Over that span, the Crimson Tide have certainly dominated as well, outscoring Vanderbilt a combined 148-3 in the 2011, 2017, and 2022 matchups.
The most recent of those meetings in 2022 came in Tuscaloosa, with the Crimson Tide defeating Vanderbilt by a final score of 55-3. Vanderbilt’s last home game in the series came back in 2017 when Alabama shut out the Commodores, 59-0.
In the overall series history, Alabama holds a 63-18-4 all-time advantage over the Commodores in a head-to-head matchup that dates back to 1903. Vanderbilt owned the early days of the matchup, but it has simply been all Alabama recently, owning a 23-game current winning streak dating back to the Commodores’ last win over the Crimson Tide in 1984.
Will the Crimson Tide continue their dominance against Vanderbilt this Saturday in Nashville?
