Alabama is off to an undefeated start to the surprise of no one, but the Commodores have shocked everyone around the country with its 3-1 record to start the season. Already Vandy has surpassed its win total from 2021 as second-year head coach Clark Lea continues to build his program in Nashville.

Despite its hot start to the season, the Vanderbilt defense has been a little suspect early on. Currently, the Commodores are giving up over 28 points per game so it is important for Alabama to find an early rhythm against a vulnerable Vandy defense.

Here are the five keys to victory for the Alabama offense.
