Kalen DeBoer screaming to not underestimate Vanderbilt

Alabama football’s head coach Kalen DeBoer appears to be telling anyone who will listen that it is important that the Crimson Tide do not overlook Vanderbilt.

DeBoer first discussed people underestimating the Commodores on SEC This Morning.

“We got to go play some ball this week against a good Vanderbilt team, I think that people are truly underestimating if you look at scores throughout the course of their games,” DeBoer said. “Ole Miss game got away from them a little bit, but other than that, end of the first quarter, second quarter, even third quarter, these games are tight against some really good football teams. So we got to be ready. We know what it’s like going there. We’ve been there. You know, once before, at least with our staff and this team, and, you know, it didn’t go so well.”

The Alabama head coach reiterated his thoughts on the Commodores on Hey Coach.

“I can tell by the questions as I go through interviews throughout the course of the week that everyone outside of the building hasn’t watched Vanderbilt,” DeBoer said. “They haven’t watched them. Our guys understand what it looks like. They’re preparing for it, and having a good week of practice right now.”

The Commodores defeated Alabama 40-35 the last time the Tide traveled to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt. Alabama avenged the loss last season in Tuscaloosa.
