Vanderbilt had somewhat of an offensive tailwind blowing into Tuscaloosa. Rolling up 400-plus yards in three of the first four games, a new starting quarterback had things moving.
The defenses at Hawaii, Elon and Northern Illinois, however, were little preparation for what it saw Saturday night. A 55-3 pounding avoided the shutout but Alabama surrendered little outside of the first-quarter scoring drive.
The Commodores moved the ball fairly well on that scoring drive, its second possession of the game. Moving 52 yards on 11 snaps included converting a third-and-short after a nice 22-yard back-shoulder throw to Will Sheppard. That was one of just two passes that covered 15-plus yards. There were third-down pass rush situations where all three star outside linebackers were on the field from Anderson to Chris Braswell and Dallas Turner. Braswell added 0.5 sacks and two quarterback hurries on a night Anderson moved past Jonathan Allen for second on Alabama’s career sack list.
“Henry is a perfect fit for the position,” Saban said. “He’s very instinctive. He’s a great communicator. He’s a signal caller. I think he makes everyone around him play better because he’s very instinctive, he understands exactly where he’s supposed to fit on the runs and ends up in the right place.”
