It was an absolute beat down in Nashville Saturday. Alabama football silenced the oddsmakers by crushing Vanderbilt 59-0. The fans were just as brutal on Twitter and we pulled the best for you here.
Alabama football didn’t just win against Vanderbilt. They dominated their opponent. It was what Nick Saban wants to see week in and week out. It seemed Alabama was playing as if their puppy was just run over by a Commodore. That is to say, angry. Hell hath no fury than a scorned Crimson Tide.
Alabama fans, experts and pundits alike took to Twitter to express their take on the beatdown. We pulled the best tweets of the day and posted them here for your convenience.
This stadium would be completely Alabama if the student section didn't have a minimum SAT.

Yes, Vanderbilt Stadium looked like Bryant-Denny North. Some had it about 90/10 in the favor of Alabama. Might have been the reason the stadium was still somewhat full as the game was getting out of hand.
“This is turning into the Bo Scarbrough-Damien Harris Show, which Jalen Hurts has pre-empted the past few weeks.”

Alabama’s running game was the show Saturday. After Jalen Hurts showed us how well he can run the ball the past two games, Alabama reached deep in its depth and still scored touchdowns. Next one up, indeed. Take a look at the Alabama football sideline near the end of the game as Tide players exhort Nick Saban to let Ronnie Clark score a touchdown.

Tua had a day as well, showing a gifted arm and great poise in the pocket. That one play where he sort of improvised the play was pure talent. Give it time and he will be a force to be reckoned with in future seasons.

Tweet of the Week
“I’m still kinda stunned by the Bama-Vandy line (19.5). I don’t think it’s a slam dunk Bama will even score 19 on this D.”

Tennessee is awful or at least the Vols were on Saturday. It is just so much fun to follow the ongoing Vols meltdown guaranteed to continue under Butch Jones.
