Alabama can bolster its standings with a strong performance in Week 2

Week 1 of the 2023 college football season is now complete and each team now has a game under its belt. [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide handled their business over the weekend with a 56-7 drumming of Middle Tennessee State.
