context_page_description: The 1921 Alabama Crimson Tide football team represented the University of Alabama in the 1921 college football season. It was the Crimson Tide's 28th overall and 25th season as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The team was led by head coach Xen C. Scott, in his third year, and played their home games at Denny Field in Tuscaloosa and at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. They finished the season with a record of five wins, four losses and two ties.
  In the opener, Alabama spotted Howard a 14–0 first-quarter lead before they rallied and won, 34–14. After a victory over Spring Hill in their second game, the Crimson Tide outscored Marion Military Institute and Bryson College by a combined 150–0 over their next two games en route to a 4–0 start to open the season. The fast start did not translate to winning for the remainder of the season as they lost four of their next five games.
  In their first Rickwood Field game of the season, the Crimson Tide was shut out by Sewanee and followed the loss with a tie against LSU in their first road game of the season at New Orleans.
context_section_description: As they entered their game against Vanderbilt, the Alabama team had much uncertainty of the outcome as the Commodores were undefeated. Played at Birmingham, Alabama was able to play with Vanderbilt, but fell short in this 14–0 loss. Midway through the first quarter, the Commodores took a 7–0 lead on a short Lynn Bomar touchdown run. The score remained the same through the fourth quarter when a Paul Stumb interception set up the final Vanderbilt scoring drive. Jess Neely then led the Commodores downfield where Rupert Smith made the final score 14–0 with his three-yard touchdown run. The loss brought Alabama's all-time record against Vanderbilt to 1–6.
