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

Answer 1

The correct version of the sentence that addresses the comma error 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 conjunction "and" to separate the two independent clauses.
