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.
