Top Vanderbilt players that Alabama must watch for this weekend

Jay Biggerstaff - USA Today Sports

The University of Alabama faces Vanderbilt on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn.

Alabama football travels to FirstBank Stadium to take on the Commodores at 3:15 p.m. Vanderbilt has a 2-2 record, but it could very well be undefeated. Clark Lea’s team took Missouri down to the wire, regardless of a 27-30 loss and nearly pulled out a victory over Georgia State. The Crimson Tide has been focused on not having a letdown game after a marquee win over Georgia.
