Alabama prepares for Vanderbilt amid red-zone and letdown concerns

The preview picture centers on Vanderbilt’s red-zone offense versus Alabama’s comparatively weaker red-zone defense, and Alabama’s turnover-margin advantage. DeBoer and Wommack have cited the 2024 loss to Vanderbilt as a caution against a post-LSU letdown; kickoff is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. CT on SEC Network.
