With Week 2 of college football upon us, it’s time to gear up for the highly-anticipated matchup between the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns.
Two of the sport’s biggest brands square off in Austin, Texas in an early-season game that will tell us a lot about both programs, and perhaps tell us the state of the Longhorns under Steve Sarkisian.
Before jumping into the next installment of the Alabama-Texas Series, in which the Longhorns have a considerable lead in the all-time series, it’s important to look back and understand the recent history here.
The last time these two teams faced each other was in Pasadena, California for the 2009 BCS national championship, which took place at the Rose Bowl. The Crimson Tide won with a score of 37-21.
