Vandy had one good drive that resulted in a field goal in the first quarter, but that just seemed to piss off the Tide, and they shut everything down from then on out.
The first part of the game didn't feature much of a running game. It was like Alabama just wanted the Oline to practice pass protection and get Young some quality work with his receivers.
That plan happened if it indeed was a plan.
Later one when Vandy when to a three-man front, the Tide decided to run more, and with the Tide up big, the running backs got some good work. It didn't matter whether it was a three-man or a four-man front.
Gibbs didn't feature much in the game, but when he did, he looked outstanding. If he gets a little bit of space, he can use his speed to make some defenders look flat out silly.
It was great to see McClellan running hard. He's more along the long line of bigger, brusing backs we've had in the past.
And while Jamarion Miller has only gotten work in garbage time, he looks really damn good too.
Brooks had one hell of day. Young threw to him often in the first quarter, and overall he amassed 117 yards on 6 catches with 2 TDs.
Next up is a very difficult matchup in Fayetteville against Arkansas after they had a heartbreaking loss against Texas A&M. They should have won in Jerry World.
