#1 Alabama Football at Vanderbilt

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–– A theme for Alabama football this week was avoiding any disappointment or trap game against Vanderbilt after upsetting Georgia last week.

The Crimson Tide head into their first SEC road game of the season against the Commodores, but there will be far more fans dressed in purple and white than black and gold at FirstBank Stadium.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network. BamaCentral brings you live from Nashville.

Result: Vanderbilt 13, Alabama 7

As always, Alabama wears white uniforms with crimson helmets for street fighting. Vanderbilt wears all black from head to toe.

Jefferson is in uniform and participating in pregame warmups.

Alabama's specialists took the field about an hour before kickoff for pregame warmups.

The official availability report excludes Alabama wide receiver Kendrick Law. Linebacker Justin Jefferson is a game-time decision.

As I walked around outside the stadium before the game, I saw probably ten Alabama fans to one Vanderbilt fan.
