Alabama helped add a new project to Vanderbiltās construction plans in the south end zone of Vanderbiltās FirstBank Stadium. So when it comes time to replace a torn-down goalpost, maybe Kane Wommack and his porous defense should help front the bill.
Just donāt pay the defensive coordinatorās unit by the hour. They didnāt get much of anything done during their roughly 42 minutes on the field in No. 1 Alabamaās 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday night.
Iād say the Crimson Tideās defense is more capable of demolition than construction work. Then again, that involves knocking things down. Lately, Alabama hasnāt done much of that.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Tide compiled nine missed tackles against Vanderbilt while also failing to sack quarterback Diego Pavia. Meanwhile, the Commodores stacked up 26 first downs while going 12 of 18 on third-down conversions.
Malachi Moore was the only Alabama player capable of getting Tide defenders off the field in the fourth quarter. That came during the team captainās hissy fit in the final seconds when he disobeyed Wommack's attempt to sub him off by sending Bray Hubbard back to the sidelines.
Alabamaās defense embarrassed itself in nearly every way Saturday night, but is the Tideās season sunk with the Vanderbilt goalposts in Nashvilleās Cumberland River? In todayās column, weāll discuss where Alabamaās title hopes stand following its inharmonious performance in the Music City.
Pour yourself a drink ā because you will need it ā and letās dive in.
