Ryan Williams appears to already have the Vanderbilt game circled on his calendar.
Last season, Alabama suffered one of the most stunning losses in recent memory when it fell to Vanderbilt 40-35 last season in Nashville. It was Alabama’s first loss to Vandy in Nashville since 1969. That means for the first time in more than 5 decades, Alabama will host a Vandy team that’s looking for a second consecutive victory over the Tide.
When asked about that opportunity this week by Jon Gruden, Williams didn’t mince words.
“We don’t call them ‘revenge games,'” Williams said. “We’re going to kill an ant with a sledgehammer this year. Every game that we fell short last year, we’ve definitely got red eyes going into [this year].”
Here’s a clip from Williams’ comments to Gruden:

Williams led Alabama in receiving in last year’s loss to Vanderbilt. He caught 3 passes for 83 yards and 1 touchdown.
The Crimson Tide will have a new quarterback this fall with Jalen Milroe moving on to the NFL. The competition between Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell remains ongoing.
Alabama will open the 2025 season against Florida State on Aug. 30. The Tide’s highly-anticipated rematch with Vanderbilt is set for Oct. 4. For the second year in a row, the game falls 1 week after Alabama will face the Georgia Bulldogs.
