What went wrong for the Crimson Tide in its historic loss to the Commodores?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide was stunned by Vanderbilt on Saturday with a stunning 40-35 loss on the road.
This utilization of short but positive gains kept Alabama's offense off of the field while also increasing Vanderbilt's momentum for practically the entire game. Running the ball was a key catalyst to making this a reality as the Commodores logged nearly double the amount of rushing yards as the Tide. Running back Sedrick Alexander led the way with 21 carries for 64 yards and two touchdowns."That's what they've been doing. They've been controlling it.
However, as previously stated, Vanderbilt got hot early and never looked back. In the first half, Miller had four carries for 44 yards, including a 32-yard run, and two scores, while Haynes logged five carries for 21 yards. But down 23-14 at the break, the run game was silent in the second half as they each had just one carry in the final two quarters.
Overall though, Alabama's offensive line did a nice job in pass protection as Milroe was only sacked twice, including the strip. The front five gave Milroe plenty of time to make throws throughout the night, which is why his completion percentage was his second-highest of the season, with the best mark of 81.8 percent coming in last week's win over Georgia.
Pavia completed 16-of-20 attempts for 252 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers. Whether it was inside or outside of the pocket, Pavia had plenty of time to throw, as Vanderbilt's offensive line allowed zero sacks on Saturday evening.
