Could Vanderbilt football be a trap game for Alabama?

The Crimson Tide (4-0, 1-0 SEC) are coming off an exciting win over Georgia and will face a rested Vanderbilt team at FirstBank Stadium. The Commodores (2-2, 0-1) lost at Missouri two weeks ago but didn't play a game last Saturday.

Alabama has historically been one of Vanderbilt's toughest opponents. In the transition from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer, the second-ranked Crimson Tide has maintained its status as one of the premier programs in the country. Nevertheless, the Commodores do not shy away from the duel.
