Saturday afternoon’s college football matchup at FirstBank Stadium in Tuscaloosa saw the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide (7-2) secure a 31-13 victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores (4-5), a result that matters to local fans eager to see the Tide maintain momentum in the SEC race.

According to The Big Lead, the game kicked off on November 14, 2026, at 12:45 PM ET and was broadcast on the SEC Network, with a live stream available via Fubo. Alabama entered the contest after a 31-13 win over LSU the previous week, looking to extend its two‑game winning streak.

Vanderbilt opened strong, leading 13-10 late in the third quarter, but the Tide responded with 21 unanswered points to pull away. Quarterback Keelon Russell completed 17 of 24 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns, two of which came in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Rico Scott contributed three catches for 67 yards, while Kaleb Edwards added 50 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, linebacker Luke Metz led the team with 11 tackles and an interception, and Devan Thompkins recorded two sacks, helping to stifle Vanderbilt’s offense after halftime. Vanderbilt’s efforts included kicker Brock Taylor’s six field goals, two from beyond 50 yards, and quarterback Jared Curtis’s 168 passing yards, but they could not overcome Alabama’s late surge.

The win solidifies Alabama’s position in the SEC standings and offers Tuscaloosa residents another reason to celebrate their hometown team’s resilience and depth. The game also marked Vanderbilt’s attempt to repeat a victory at FirstBank Stadium after their 40-35 win in 2024, though the Tide’s adjustments proved decisive.
