Alabama football is set to play Vanderbilt in Nashville this Saturday, and the Crimson Tide are not speaking of what happened the last time Alabama went up to Nashville.
In 2024, Vanderbilt upset Alabama 40-35 to knock off the top-ranked Crimson Tide.
None of the players that were made available to the media this week were on the team during the 2024 season, but all of them claimed Alabama is not talking about the loss.
“It’s not really talked about much,” inside linebacker Caleb Woodson said. “I wasn’t here. We’re just focused on going out and dominating the next game.”
Tight end Kaleb Edwards said the guys that are on this season’s team that experienced the loss two seasons ago to Vanderbilt are not talking about the 2024 matchup, and he said that Alabama’s team has a handful of new players on the team this time around.
Center Racin Delgatty and defensive back Dijon Lee Jr. echoed the same things that Woodson and Edwards said. Although the players are saying the same thing, head coach Kalen DeBoer told media members on Monday about his message to the Crimson Tide after the win over LSU last Saturday. He said he reminded them about the Vanderbilt 2024 loss.
Are the Crimson Tide talking about the upset or not? Well, that’s something that is up to the interpretation of each person.
It is worth noting that Alabama faced Vanderbilt at home in 2025 and got revenge in the form of a 30-14 win at home. Now, the Crimson Tide are looking to take down Vandy in Nashville.
Alabama-Vanderbilt will be at 11:45 a.m. CT on Saturday.
