Answer 1

The correct version of the sentence that fixes the error in the original is:

We went to the Alabama game on Saturday, and we tailgated with some friends and family on the quad.

This version correctly places a comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" because it connects two independent clauses, making it a compound sentence.
