Live updates from Bryant-Denny Stadium
Alabama football looks to score its first SEC victory of the season as Vanderbilt comes to town.
The game against the Commodores will mark the first in Tuscaloosa between the two programs since 2011. Alabama has not surrendered a point to Vanderbilt in the past two matchups ― 2017 in Nashville and the 2011 game. Vanderbilt last scored a point against Alabama in 2007.
The Commodores have not beaten the Crimson Tide since 1984. Nick Saban was an assistant coach at Michigan State that year. Since then, he’s coached for the Houston Oilers, Toledo, Cleveland Browns, Michigan State, LSU, the Miami Dolphins and now Alabama. Saban is in his 16th year in Tuscaloosa.
Clark Lea is in his second season as Vanderbilt’s coach. He has already helped the Commodores (3-1) have a better season than 2021, but the bar was low. Vanderbilt won only two games in Lea’s first year with the program. Now, Lea’s squad has one of the toughest tests yet with a trip to face Alabama (3-0).

Alabama football score vs. Vanderbilt Commodores: Live updates from SEC Week 4
Third quarter
2:56 left: Jase McClellan breaks through two Vandy defenders en route to a touchdown run. Alabama 41, Vanderbilt 3.
7:04 left: Will Reichard’s 21-yard field goal attempt is good. The Commodores defense was stingy in goal-to-go.
12:13 left: Vandy will punt after two failed runs and an incomplete pass. That sequence followed a pair of first-down passes by AJ Swann to Will Sheppard. Here comes Bryce Young. Could this be his final possession of the night?
Second quarter
HALFTIME: Alabama 31, Vanderbilt 3. Will Reichard 39-yard field goal is good.
BRYCE YOUNG: Alabama football QB Bryce Young torches Vanderbilt for 300 passing yards in first half
10 seconds left: Jermaine Burton is wide open down the right sideline, and Bryce Young finds him for a big gain. Alabama in field goal range. That was a 48-yard catch for Burton. He has four receptions for 94 yards.
33 seconds left: Brian Branch back to field the punt, and he muffs it too. Alabama recovers, but here’s guessing Nick Saban will address that issue.
1:43 left: DJ Dale sack.
2:50 left: Kool-Aid McKinstry has a wonderful return down the far sideline….until he fumbles and Vandy recovers. McKinstry really was casual with ball security throughout the return.
3:43 left: Will Anderson sack on 3rd down.
4:43 left: Bryce Young throws a touchdown pass to Jahmyr Gibbs, who broke three Vanderbilt tackle attempts in the right flat en route to the end zone. Alabama 28, Vanderbilt 3.
8:25 left: Will Anderson sack on 3rd down.
10:54 left: Bryce Young and the Alabama offense in no-man’s land, with 4th and long from the Vandy 36. The fourth-down pass is incomplete.
13:29 left: Vandy goes for it on 4th and 1 from its own 34-yard line. The Commodores fail to convert, with Will Anderson taking down AJ Swann.
The next play: Bryce Young to Ja’Corey Brooks for a 34-yard touchdown. Alabama 21, Vanderbilt 3.
First quarter

3:49 left: Former Tide kicker Joseph Bulovas is good from 41 yards. Alabama 7, Vanderbilt 3.
PBU by Kool-Aid McKinstry on third down to get the stop.
This is the first time Vandy has scored a point against Alabama since the Tide’s 24-10 win in 2007.
5:17 left: Ray Davis run for a first down inside the Alabama 30. Again, on an outside run.

Ja’Corey Brooks puts Alabama football ahead early

10:37 left: Henry To’oTo’o TFL on 3rd and short. Vandy will punt.
