For only the second time ever, the Alabama Crimson Tide will face off against the Utah State Aggies. The Tide and Aggies’ have only ever faced off on the field once before.
The lone meeting came in 2004 as Alabama handily swiftly defeated Utah State 48-17.
Just like 2022, the 2004 matchup was also the season opener for the Tide. Alabama heads into the 2022 campaign ranked No. 1 in all of the major polls, led by the reigning Heisman trophy winner, Bryce Young.
Utah State, meanwhile, has one game under their belt already this season. The Aggies took on the UConn Huskies in Week Zero and walked away with a 31-20 victory. According to Tipico Sports, the Crimson Tide are currently 41.5-point favorites.
Can the 2022 Aggies fare better than their 2004 team, or will Nick Saban’s squad get the best of them?
