Both are native Georgians who assisted the Crimson Tide to two Southeastern Conference Championships (2020 and 2021) and a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2020. Anderson and Branch shut down Kansas State’s run game in the second half, propelling Alabama to a 45-20 victory in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The two had a lot of fun in the “Home Team” commercial presented by Wendy’s and Dr. Pepper. Anderson and Branch answered interesting questions about each other and played games.
