Vanderbilt Commodores vs Alabama Crimson Tide team news & key players
Vanderbilt Commodores team news
Vanderbilt came up just short in their last contest against Missouri, taking the game to overtime but ultimately falling 30-27. Quarterback Diago Pavia has been a revelation for the Commodores, connecting on 14 of his 23 pass attempts for 178 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. He also made an impact on the ground, rushing 17 times for 84 yards. While the defense held its own, the offense struggled to find enough rhythm to seal the win.
Throughout the season, Pavia has completed 54 of 75 passes for 721 yards and six touchdowns, while also adding 279 rushing yards and two scores. His backfield partner, Sedrick Alexander, has been a key contributor as well, racking up 217 rushing yards on 51 carries. The 5ft 9in running back thrives as a dynamic interior rusher, excelling at making cutbacks in the zone blocking scheme and capitalizing on defenders overcommitting to the quarterback keeper.
Alabama Crimson Tide team news
Jalen Milroe is shaping up to be a serious Heisman contender, having completed 27 of his 33 passes for 374 yards, two touchdowns, and a lone interception. Not only did he dominate through the air, but he also led the ground game with 16 carries for 117 yards and a rushing touchdown. At just 17 years old, Ryan Williams is already proving to be one of the top talents in college football, hauling in six catches for 177 yards and a score.
So far this season, Alabama is averaging a hefty 47 points per game, while their defense is holding opponents to just 15 points on average. The offense ranks 8th nationally, with their defense sitting 19th. For this game, Alabama's attack will need to set the tone early, applying pressure and getting off to a rapid start to keep the momentum rolling.
