LOOK: Former Vanderbilt QB Jordan Rodgers recalls big hit last time Vandy played Alabama
Vanderbilt and Alabama don’t play very often, as they aren’t division crossover rivals, but when they do, there’s often a memorable moment or two.
Last time the Commodores and Crimson Tide met (back in 2011), Alabama S Mark Barron delivered a huge hit to a Vanderbilt player.
As you can see below, the Commodores were trying to run an option play, and the ballcarrier got crushed by Barron:

That “someone” was former Vanderbilt QB Jordan Rodgers. The SEC Network analyst responded on Twitter, recalling the infamous play:
??♂️that was me…and yes it hurt, popped right up but had no clue where I was, and my ear pad was on my forehead https://t.co/DeaBEmsrzZ

That year’s Alabama team went on to win 34-0, but this season’s Vanderbilt squad seems to be better than the 2011 squad.
