Alabama, Auburn, UAB Face First Conference Foes Of The Season

By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

Play time is over for college football teams across the state as early-season opponents have given way to conference foes.

Alabama has a 2:30 p.m. date in Nashville against a Vanderbilt team whose 3-0 record includes a 14-7 victory over a ranked Kansas State squad. Alabama, of course, is ranked No. 1, but the Crimson Tide knows what it faces against the Commodores in their contest on CBS.

“They have a lot of starters back, nine on offense, seven on defense,” coach Nick Saban said. “Their defense leads the nation in scoring defense. Kyle Shurmur is the leading passing efficiency quarterback in our league. They do a great job in terms of their coaching and how they attack people, how they play on offense and defense.“They’ve got three receivers that all pretty much share in how they spread the ball around,” Saban continued. “This is a very good overall team and probably a team that deserves to be in the Top 25.”
