Storylines to watch in massive Week 2 showdown between Alabama and Texas

Five of the top storylines for the epic non-conference matchup between Alabama and Texas!

The Alabama Crimson Tide put its stamp on Week 1 of the college football season with a dominating 56-7 win over Middle Tennessee State inside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.

Now, [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Tide will host a completely different challenge in Week 2 when they welcome the Texas Longhorns to Tuscaloosa for one of the season’s most highly anticipated non-conference matchups.

Last year, Alabama escaped Austin with a nail-biting 20-19 win over the Longhorns, mainly behind the fourth quarterback magic of quarterback Bryce Young.

Now, Alabama will be led by a young QB making just his third collegiate start. [autotag]Jalen Milroe[/autotag] silenced some critics with his performance against MTSU, but the Longhorn defense will present a completely different challenge for the Texas native.

The storylines entering Alabama-Texas are endless, so we have put together a list of a handful that we feel are most important for the Crimson Tide.
