Anytime two blue blood programs face off in college football it builds plenty of excitement.
Nick Saban will bring his Crimson Tide to Austin to battle it out against his former offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian in Week 2 of the 2022 season.
The highly anticipated Sept. 10 matchup between Texas and Alabama will take place on FOX Sports. A potential Big Noon Kickoff time would mean an uncomfortably hot football game as temperatures will likely be close to triple-digits.
The Alabama-Texas game will be on Fox Sports, the network announces. That only increases the odds it'll be the Big Noon Kickoff game the week, sadly.

Alabama is fresh off an SEC championship and a national title loss to Georgia. The Tide returns the 2021 Heisman trophy winner Bryce Young and the best pass rusher in the nation in Will Anderson. Alabama is currently the odds on favorites to win the national championship in 2022.
Texas will have the chance to prove to the college football world the disappointing 2021 season is behind them with a strong showing in Week 2. Bijan Robinson and Xavier Worthy return along with a talented group of transfers to make up what should be an explosive offense. The defense will benefit from another year in Pete Kwiatkowski’s system.
