It’s a matchup that college football fans have been waiting for since last year: No. 4 Alabama and No. 11 Texas will face off in a rematch of last year’s closely contested game. The Crimson Tide and Longhorns will meet in Austin, Texas on Saturday, September 14th for what promises to be an exciting and intense game.
Last year, the two teams met in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in a game that was close throughout. Alabama was able to pull out the win in the end, but it was a hard-fought battle that went down to the wire. This year, the stakes are even higher as both teams are ranked in the top 15 and have high expectations for the season.
The Crimson Tide come into the matchup with a 4-0 record and are led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has been one of the most efficient passers in college football this season. He has thrown for 1,719 yards and 20 touchdowns while completing 73.9 percent of his passes. Alabama also has a strong defense that is allowing just 11.3 points per game, which is the second-lowest mark in the nation.
Texas, meanwhile, is 3-1 and is led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who has thrown for 1,165 yards and eight touchdowns while completing 64.2 percent of his passes. The Longhorns have a strong defense as well, allowing just 15.8 points per game, which is the sixth-lowest mark in the nation.
This game promises to be a great matchup between two of the top teams in college football. Both teams have high-powered offenses and stingy defenses, so it should be an exciting game to watch. It will be interesting to see how Alabama’s offense fares against Texas’ defense and vice versa. It’s sure to be a close game, so don’t miss it!
