Game Preview
Alabama coach Nick Saban sports a 28-2 all-time record when coaching against one of his former assistants. Steve Sarkisian nearly made a dent in that record when his Texas Longhorns faced off against Saban in 2022.
If the hype for Alabama-Texas Part I was sky-high last season, expect the sequel to surpass it when the two brand-name programs clash Saturday night in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Alabama (1-0) moved up one spot to No. 3 in the new Associated Press Top 25 poll Tuesday, while Texas (1-0) remained at No. 11. Though it just missed out on being a top-10 matchup, it’s expected to be the game of the week; ESPN is sending "College GameDay" to Alabama for the programs’ final meeting before Texas joins the SEC.
