Crimson Tide walks by the Commodores for 25-8 win.

Alabama starts the season with a game that would become its trademark during a National Championship season. Freshman Michael Proctor kicks 4 FGs, as the Crimson Tide plods through with a very pedestrian attack.

Vanderbilt moves the ball successfully during the 1st half but suffers 4 turnovers and a botched punt on its 1st 5 series, resulting in a 16-0 deficit. Michael Rogers puts the game away with an INT return for a TD late in the game.
