Alabama went to Nashville after a huge win over LSU, and just like they did two years ago, slept-walked through much of the start of the game with Vanderbilt. Unlike the 2024 historic upset, Alabama was able to win, 21-6, this time around. It wasn’t pretty though.
Like at all. It was a struggle offensively all game. At the half, Vanderbilt had run 24 plays and only gained 34 yards, and the Tide were only up 7-3. For Alabama, 20% of its plays in the first half went for zero or negative yards.
Alabama fans were less than thrilled with Alabama’s performance, but almost all of their ire fell directly on offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Here were a few of the wildest tweets about it.
