The matchup between No. 11 Texas and No. 3 Alabama is viewed as one of the top college football games of the year.
No one is quite sure how the game will go, but if it’s anything like last year it could turn into an instant classic. Texas faces a tough task traveling to Tuscaloosa for their first road game of the season in what is expected to be a rowdy atmosphere.
One of the top storylines this week ahead of the massive matchup has centered around Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers’ inaccuracy with the deep ball. The Longhorns will need to find a way to connect on a few of these if they hope to pull off the upset.
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe’s ability to use his legs could haunt Texas in this game, but Texas defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski deserves credit for how he’s game planned for dual-threat quarterbacks in the past.
