Ty Simpson<\/strong> and the Alabama Crimson Tide<\/a><\/strong> are gearing up for a crucial showdown with the Vanderbilt Commodores<\/strong>. With last season\u2019s defeat fresh in their memories, the quarterback in Tuscaloosa dropped a bold message for Diego Pavia<\/strong> and company to listen to.<\/p>\n

The 2025 NCAA<\/a><\/strong> season has had no shortage of marquee-matchups. This time, a big showdown is brewing in Tuscaloosa as the Crimson Tide and Commodores clash in the SEC. Last year\u2019s defeat on the road still lingers<\/strong> for Simpson and Alabama, but they have learned their lesson.<\/p>\n

Now, as undefeated Vanderbilt<\/a> looks to make a statement across college football<\/a>, Alabama\u2019s quarterback delivered a firm reminder to his teammates. However, it might just as well serve as a warning<\/strong> to Pavia and the Commodores.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t playing but I was on the team and so I felt how it was last year<\/strong>,\u201d Simpson admitted, per On3. \u201cThe mentality in the locker room this week is \u2018we remember what happened last year and what are we going to do about it?\u2019 Even though it\u2019s not about last year, it\u2019s about us, we\u2019re not gonna make the same mistake again<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

What a difference a year makes<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s impossible for fans across the nation to ignore last season\u2019s historic Vanderbilt triumph, time has passed since. Pavia may still be in command of the offense in Nashville, but Jalen Milroe is no longer under center in Tuscaloosa<\/strong>. It\u2019s Simpson\u2019s huddle now, and he is determined to right their wrongs from a year ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re not the same team as last year and neither are we<\/strong>. They\u2019re better and we\u2019re better in some ways,\u201d Simpson added. \u201cThis is a top-25 matchup with College GameDay coming here. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a really, really good Vanderbilt team and it could be one of the biggest games of the year<\/strong>. We need to come in with the mentality like we\u2019ve had in the last couple of games with a chip on our shoulder. Like it\u2019s Alabama vs. The World.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chasing history<\/p>\n

Pavia has found his place in the world in Nashville with the Commodores. Vanderbilt has fed off the overlooked quarterback\u2019s mentality and is now convinced it can stand up to any program in college football. The Commodores don\u2019t care how many national championships<\/a> their opponent has won. <\/p>\n

Nor, do they worry about how many Heisman trophy winners<\/a> or first overall picks in the Draft attended the school. They will walk into any stadium with a chip on their shoulder, determined to spoil the evening for the home fans.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Against all odds<\/p>\n

When Vanderbilt walks into Bryant-Denny Stadium, the weight of more than a century of history will be against them.<\/strong> The Crimson Tide has gotten the better of the Commodores time and again, with last season marking the first time in the 21st century that Vanderbilt had the last laugh over Bama. Now, Pavia and company will try to make more history. <\/p>\n

Alabama owns the all-time record with 60 wins (two later vacated), four ties, and 20 losses. Moreover, Vanderbilt has won just once in Tuscaloosa\u2014back on September 29, 1984<\/strong>. The Commodores did win more games on the road, but back when Alabama played sporadically in Mobile or Birmingham. More than 40 years later, Pavia will lead the charge, hoping to deliver another big blow to Kalen DeBoer\u2019s Alabama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ty Simpson and the Alabama Crimson Tide are gearing up for a crucial showdown with the Vanderbilt Commodores.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":267821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[12955,1318,1317,1315,1316,62,67,132,68,2984],"class_list":{"0":"post-267820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-alabama","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-vanderbilt"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115296087106890848","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
