Touchdown Alabama came up with five key questions heading into Alabama’s Week 6 matchup against Vanderbilt. Here’s a look at how the Crimson Tide answered those during its 30-14 victory over the Commodores.
Question: Will Tide remain turnover-free?
Answer: Alabama entered the game as one of three FBS teams yet to turn the ball over on the year. That changed on the Tide’s opening drive, as Ty Simpson was picked off by Vanderbilt cornerback Martel Hight.
