The Alabama Crimson Tide will be on the road in Nashville this weekend for a matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Alabama will face Vanderbilt in Nashville for the first time since the Tide’s shocking loss to the Commodores in 2024. Last weekend’s victory over LSU was massive for Alabama’s playoff chances, and it will be critical for the Tide to keep their foot on the gas throughout all four quarters against the Commodores on Saturday.
Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack took a moment to comment on the 2024 road loss at Vandy. He claims the team has used the loss as motivation on countless occasions since the incident.
“I think you learn from adversity.” Wommack said. “I think that’s what makes people better versions of themselves as they continue to develop. That game obviously had a major impact on me, I still have that log in our office mainly as a reminder of how relentless you have to be in your process. We came off of a big win, I think we went up there two years ago and we didn’t have enough guys on the sideline that had the same sense of urgency that you have to have in every single SEC game. And I wanted to make sure that I think we used that experience numerous times since then to make sure we are putting ourselves in the best position from a mindset standpoint, of what it takes to be relentless in our process day in and day out.”
Vanderbilt defeated No. 1 Alabama by a final score of 40-35 in 2024. The loss was the first of three in what was Kalen DeBoer’s first season as the Crimson Tide’s head coach, and the team as a whole appears to have revenge on their mind following Wommack’s comments on Monday morning.
