What time and channel does Alabama play today? Latest on how to watch with and without cable
So they meet again. The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the USF Bulls on Saturday hoping for a less frustrating day than the last time out.
In 2023, USF gave Alabama a scare, limiting the Crimson Tide offense to just 10 points through three quarters. Ty Simpson had to come in to save the day with a game-clinching fourth-quarter touchdown.
Jalen Milroe didn't play in that one. That's likely to be the difference this time around. The Alabama quarterback looked right at home in new head coach Kalen DeBoer's offense in Week 1. He threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns on 7-of-9 passing against Western Kentucky.
The Bulls are also coming off a blowout victory. They blasted Bethune-Cookman 48-3 with 231 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
Alabama is a big favorite in this one. Will they take care of business again? Or will it be Ground Hog Day with USF? Tune in to find out.
