Why we're excited for Texas at Bama
Alabama hasn't lost to anybody at home since 2019. Could Nick Saban's former assistant, Steve Sarkisian, break that streak?
QB Jalen Milroe will finally be put to the test against Texas.
Last week's win over Rice marks the first game Texas forced three or more turnovers since Oct. 2, 2021. That snapped the fourth-longest streak in FBS.
The last time Alabama was on CGD
Week 2's trip marks "GameDay's" 17th all-time visit to Tuscaloosa and first since the 2020 Iron Bowl. This is also the Crimson Tide's 55th appearance overall on the show, the second most of any team.
