The Crimson Tide had a tough week following a road loss to Memphis and a too close-for comfort win against Jacksonville State at home.
As expected, Alabama moved down a few spots to No. 10 in the latest AP Poll and will hope to rebound on Tuesday in a tough game against Davidson, a Q1 opponent for the Tide, in Birmingham for the C.M. Newton Classic.
