Alabama fans react to Vandy loss about as well as you’d expect

Georgia fans, get your popcorn ready for these Alabama fans’ reactions to their loss to Vanderbilt

The Vanderbilt Commodores defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 40-35 in one of the biggest upsets in college football history. Alabama fans have been spoiled throughout the Nick Saban era. They routinely won big games and national championships and rarely suffered upsets.

The tides are changing for Alabama in the Kalen DeBoer era. The Crimson Tide were home underdogs for the first time since 2007 against the Georgia Bulldogs. Alabama prevailed against Georgia, but fell in a trap game against Vanderbilt the following week.

Several Alabama fans called into “The “Paul Finebaum Show” on ESPN after the Crimson Tide’s loss to Vanderbilt. Many Alabama fans responded with outrage in the aftermath of what was once inconceivable: a loss to Vanderbilt.

Alabama fans exhibit the passion of SEC football fans. However, there is not a fan base more used to success than the Crimson Tide, so when things fell apart against Vanderbilt it came as an absolute shock.

Caution: strong language used in these calls.

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

The Commodores have to hit their threes. When they do that, they’re okay. When they don’t, forget it.

At least over the last few weeks, they were good from the outside against Mississippi State and South Carolina and won both games, and couldn’t do anything from three in the other games and lost.

They keep chucking them, and they make a lot because they’re usually in comeback mode, but if they can somehow slow things down and hope Bama is off after not playing for a week.

Why Alabama Will Win

Vanderbilt just doesn’t score enough.

The Crimson Tide keep on coming with an offense that was just getting sharper when the short time off came.

They’re amazing from three, they’re amazing at generating easy points off of steals, and they’re grabbling rebounds in bulk, especially on the defensive end.

Vanderbilt doesn’t have the consistent pop to hang in the 80s, and the defense has a big problem bothering outside shooters – that’s a deathblow when Bama  gets on a roll.

What’s Going To Happen

The Tide lost two of their previous five games coming into this, but they’ve been a rock at home with only a loss to WKU back in mid-December.

Vanderbilt, though, is just good enough to not get obliterated. They’re not going to be able to keep up in the second half, but they’ll score a bit late after Bama coasts across the finish line.
