“You look at third-down defense this past week and fourth-down defense in the second half against Georgia, not to the standard,” defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said. “For six quarters there, third and fourth down, we have not operated to the level we’re capable of, otherwise we’re looking at different stories in both those games.”

Kane Wommack said the Alabama defense didn't play "the game the way it was supposed to be played" Saturday against Vanderbilt.
