Kalen DeBoer has shown he can get his team up for the big game, but how will Alabama handle the aftermath?
On the heels of a wild win over Georgia, the top-ranked Tide head to Nashville on Saturday to face a Vanderbilt team that has been on a knife's edge nearly every week.
Aside from a blowout of FCS Alcorn State, Vanderbilt has defeated Virginia Tech in overtime, lost 36-32 at Georgia State on a touchdown with 15 seconds left in the game, and suffered a heartbreaking, double-overtime defeat at No. 7 Missouri.

So, while history and Alabama's 32-point average margin of victory this season suggest a Tide blowout, this Commodores team could be catching the giant at the right time to make things interesting.
