[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team will open up SEC play this Saturday when the Vanderbilt Commodores come to Tuscaloosa for a battle of east versus west.
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.

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