    Game updates, week 6 live score

    Vaseline Posted on

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In a crowd dressed heavily in crimson, white and gray, Alabama football was silenced by Vanderbilt on Saturday afternoon.

    A week after a dramatic win against Georgia, the No. 2 Crimson Tide fell victim to the rat trap game, with Vanderbilt losing 40-35 and pandemonium ensuing at FirstBank Stadium for Alabama’s first loss of the Kalen DeBoer era .

    Alabama’s loss to Vanderbilt was the team’s first outright loss since 1984. Three previous Alabama wins against the Commodores were lost or forfeited.

    Diego Pavia and the Vanderbilt offense secured the victory with five minutes remaining, scoring his second touchdown pass of the day to Kamrean Johnson to give the Commodores a 12-point lead.

    Jalen Milroe and the Alabama offense, which had 396 yards of offense — the same as the Commodores offense — scored a touchdown with 2:46 left on a 2-yard end around freshman Ryan Williams. But a Vanderbilt first down secured the upset win against the Crimson Tide.

    The Vanderbilt offense had a significant possession advantage and held the football for over 40 minutes of playing time.

    Next, Alabama will host South Carolina on Oct. 12 at 11 a.m

    Here’s what happened in Alabama’s 12-point loss to Vanderbilt.

    (This story will be updated throughout the game.)

    5:07, Q4: Vanderbilt can’t be slowed down. Diego Pavia found Kamrean Johnson for a six-yard score, giving the Commodores a 40-28 lead.

    9:36, Q4: Another turnover has given Vanderbilt possession with less than 10 minutes remaining. Jalen Milroe was sacked by Miles Capers, who forced a fumble that was recovered by the Commodores.

    10:35, Q4: Vanderbilt extended its lead with a 33-yard field goal, ending a 60-yard drive that lasted 5:26. Alabama trails Vanderbilt 33-28 with 10:35 to go.

    Alabama trails Vanderbilt 30-28 heading into the fourth quarter with the Commodores at the Alabama 40-yard line.

    Ryan Williams does it again. The Alabama freshman took a 58-yard pass from Jalen Milroe, evaded multiple tackles and scored his sixth touchdown of the season. Alabama trails Vanderbilt 30-28.

    2:53, Q3: On a fourth-and-short at midfield, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia connected on a 36-yard heave with Junior Sherrill for his first passing touchdown of the day. Vanderbilt leads Alabama 30-21

    A highlight-reel throw from Jalen Milroe to Germie Bernard deep in Alabama’s own territory was called back. Milroe was ahead at the line of scrimmage and the completion was called an illegal forward pass. After an Alabama punt, the Commodores take over at the Alabama 45-yard line.

    6:15, Q3: The Vanderbilt offense continued to pressure the Alabama defense, with two third downs and nearly six minutes off the clock. But the Crimson Tide forced a punt after multiple tackles for loss by Que Robinson.

    12:01, Q3: Jalen Milroe and the Alabama offense started fast against the Vanderbilt defense. Milroe led the Crimson Tide on a five-play, 53-yard touchdown drive capped by a 14-yard quarterback rush. Emmanuel Henderson started the drive with a 46-yard kickoff return.

    Alabama has its starting offensive line back at the start of the second half. Jaeden Roberts was back at right guard after Geno VanDeMark played late in the first half. Roberts was seen on the sidelines with his helmet in his hands.

    Alabama must make up a deficit against Vanderbilt in the final 30 minutes. The Crimson Tide trails the Commodores 23-14 at halftime.

    1:24, Q2: Jam Miller cut Vanderbilt’s lead against Alabama with his second touchdown rush of the day, ending a 9-play, 83-yard drive that lasted 2:41. Alabama trails Vanderbilt 23-14

    Alabama right guard Geno VanDeMark entered the game for Jaeden Roberts during the two-minute intermission of the second quarter. Roberts was seen on the sidelines wearing his helmet.

    2:24, Q2: A 15-yard pass from Jalen Milroe to Kobe Prentice ended in a targeting review. No error was given. Alabama has a first down at the 50. Prentice left the game with an injury.

    4:10, Q2: Vanderbilt extends its lead to 23-7 on a 51-yard field goal by Brock Taylor

    8:20, Q2: Alabama’s offense can’t find any momentum. After an incompletion between Jalen Milroe and Ryan Williams on third down, the Crimson Tide will punt. Alabama’s drive lasted three drives of -3 yards: a Nick Rinaldi sack.

    9:24, Q2: A backbreaking turnover has been erased for Alabama football. Emmanuel Henderson lost the football when he was tackled but was disallowed. Crimson Tide takes over at its own 13 yard line.

    9:24, Q2: Vanderbilt has the ball back in the Alabama red zone after an Emmanuel Henderson fumble at the 13-yard line.

    9:32, Q2: Sedrick Alexander has his second touchdown of the day for Vanderbilt, capping a 17-play, 75-yard drive at 9:50. An illegal numbers penalty, a facemask call against Jihaad Campbell and a passer penalty by Que Robinson extended a scoring drive that initially ended in a 40-yard punt. Vanderbilt leads 20-7

    Alabama trails Vanderbilt after the first quarter. Sedrick Alexander has a rushing touchdown for the Commodores, while the defense scored on a Jalen Milroe interception. Jam Miller has Alabama’s only score.

    After Alabama seemingly forced a 40-yard punt from Jesse Mirco, Vanderbilt got the ball back at the Crimson Tide 47 on an illegal number call. Both Zabien Brown and Ryan Williams, wearing No. 2, were on the field during the kick.

    Alabama is now on the board thanks to running back Jam Miller. Miller finished a 7-play, 75-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run to the left side behind tackle Kadyn Proctor and Tyler Booker.

    Things are going from bad to worse for Alabama. A tipped pass from Jalen Milroe was returned for a 29-yard touchdown by Randon Fountenette. The extra-point attempt was blocked. Vanderbilt leads 13-0.

    8:46, Q1: Diego Pavia carried the Vanderbilt offense smoothly to start the game against Alabama, leading a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 5-yard run by Sedrick Alexander. Vanderbilt had five first downs and two third-down conversions.

    Alabama wins the coin toss. Moved to the second half. Vanderbilt will start with the ball.

    No. 2 Alabama 45, Vanderbilt 10: Instead of the rat trap play that Alabama’s coaching staff had prepared its players for, Jalen Milroe, Ryan WIlliams and the rest of the Crimson Tide should pick up where they left off in the final moments of the victory in Georgia.
