On Saturday afternoon, the Alabama Crimson Tide suffered their first loss of the 2024 season, as the program was upset in Nashville by the Vanderbilt Commodores, 40-35.
Kalen DeBoer’s first loss as head coach at Alabama, this was only a week after the program defeated the Georgia Bulldogs in Tuscaloosa, making this a truly shocking result for everyone. What are people saying about this result as well?
Let’s take a look at what some are saying on social media after Alabama’s shocking 40-35 loss on the road at Vanderbilt:
My initial take is Kalen DeBoer losing to Vanderbilt here is worse than any loss of the Nick Saban era including the famous loss to Louisiana Monroe in 2007.
That it came a way after beating Georgia to become No. 1 in the country is almost incomprehensible.

This is Alabama in a nutshell today. Pass complete for a first down to the 50, Milroe past the line of scrimmage so it’s 4th down instead and a punt from your own endzone pic.twitter.com/4ibC1sQD0t

If Alabama could simply never play a half of football like that again, that would be fantastic.

Worst defensive performance I have ever seen from an Alabama football team.

This is one of the worst defensive performances I have ever seen from Alabama.

You have to give Vandy a lot of credit for this. Upsets always take the favorite playing poorly, but this goes way beyond that. It hasn’t just been Alabama playing bad. It’s been Vandy playing extremely well. They’ve earned where they are right now.

This is worse than 2007 Louisiana-Monroe. Much, much worse.

Vanderbilt has beaten Alabama for the first time since 1984…
And it’s also the first time in the history of their program that they’ve beat the #1 team in the country
Just insane
