The Alabama Crimson Tide are headed to Nashville for their first taste of SEC competition when the face the Vanderbilt Commodores.

After three games in the season, the Crimson Tide has seen much improvement on the offense side of the ball, especially running the ball with Jalen Hurts, Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough. On the other hand, injuries have played a big part of Alabama's decline on the defense side of the ball despite giving up only 13.3 points per game.

The Crimson Tide defense will have a tough task stopping the Commodores on offense on their home-turf, they average 346 yards per game to start the season.
