A look at how to watch the No. 1-ranked Alabama Crimson Ride play the Kent State Golden Flashes.
There are a handful of marquee games to be seen on the fourth weekend of college football. One of them will not be Alabama vs. Kent State, but seeing the Crimson Tide in action is always an event, and should be the case on Saturday.
Alabama remained the No. 1 team in college football after last Saturday’s SEC contest. They defeated Ole Miss, 48-43, but trailed 24-3 at one point. A quick comeback, which began late in the first half, propelled the Tide to a victory.
True freshman quarterback, Jalen Hurts, has quickly become Alabama’s leader on offense. He put himself on the map just three games in, protecting the ball, passing somewhat efficiently (61.5-percent completion percentage), and using his legs to extend plays. Hurts is even the second leading rusher on the team at 197 yards.
Given this is a cupcake game against Kent State, expect a quality outing from Hurts that’ll give him 48 minutes to work out some kinks in his game. If the score is big enough at the half, maybe he’ll get time to rest as well.
Wide receivers ArDarius Stewart and Calvin Ridley have stepped up as the primary targets for Hurts. The junior and sophomore, respectively, have racked up over 200 yards each, with four total touchdowns. They could be on their way to near-1,000 yard seasons each, if this production keeps up.
