In 2022, Alabama defeated Texas in a tightly-contested battle. The Crimson Tide came away with a 20-19 victory atop the Longhorns. It came at the expense of a game-winning field goal in the last few seconds of the game.
Now, the Longhorns will travel to Tuscaloosa to take on the Crimson Tide in Week 2 of the 2023 season. Steve Sarkisian’s squad is widely considered to be the favorite in the Big-12 and rightfully so. The Longhorns return 10 starters on offense and six starters on defense. Meaning there is great continuity and experience among the Texas roster.
Texas will be one of the biggest threats that Alabama has on the 2023 schedule. There is no denying the fact that this weekend’s matchup could have playoff implications. Therefore, it is crucial that Alabama brings its A-game on Saturday evening in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Roll Tide Wire takes a closer look at some of the areas of concern ahead of Alabama’s Week 2 matchup against Texas.
