The kickoff time for Vanderbilt football’s penultimate home game of the season has officially been locked in. The Commodores are set to battle No. 9-ranked Alabama at FirstBank Stadium on November 14. Mark your calendars: that huge SEC matchup will kick off at 12:45 p.m. CT and will be broadcast live on SEC Network.
A Tough Stretch for the Commodores
Vanderbilt is definitely in a rough spot this SEC season, currently sitting with a 3-5 overall record and a tough 0-5 mark in conference play. Coming off a week off, they will be looking for a bounce-back after that 34-17 defeat to No. 7 Kentucky on October 24. That loss just shows the kind of grind they are up against in the SEC.
Road Ahead Before the Tide Roll In
Before Vanderbilt can even think about that massive showdown with Alabama, they have another SEC battle on deck. They are heading to Starkville on November 7 to face Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are coming in at 4-4 overall, 2-4 in SEC play, so that is another key matchup for the Commodores as they hunt for their first conference win.
The Alabama game on November 14 is a huge test at FirstBank Stadium. After facing Mississippi State on the road, the Commodores will need to bring their A-game against the No. 9 Tide. This is their second-to-last home game, and it is going to be a challenging one for sure.
