Tuscaloosa last hosted Texas football in 1902. The Longhorns are back on Saturday night.
A reignited rivalry will hold the attention of the college football world in Week 2. A year, before they both become SEC powerhouses, Alabama and Texas will face off in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Here’s what the people who actually have an impact on the game said about the matchup before ESPN broadcasts the 6 p.m. CT kickoff.“They’ve got a really good team. They’ve got a veteran team returning, with 10 starters on offense, six on defense. Really good skill players on offense. Really good quarterback who can throw the ball effectively. They make a lot of explosive plays. Worthy’s an outstanding receiver. They’ve got good running backs. They’ve got a really good tight end.
On Texas’ defensive line: “The two inside guys are really, really good. Strong, powerful, athletic, can pass rush, really hard to block, don’t give up a lot of movement inside, which makes it difficult to run. Their ends are athletic and they do a good job of playing together as a team.” On Texaas wideout Xavier Worthy: “Oh, fast, just like going against Bond. Speed kills. So I would say with him, he has the ability to take the top off at all times and he’s a very great player. You just have to be disciplined in guarding him.”On Week 2 excitement: “Just the opportunity like you said to play in games like this, the biggest games of the season, one of the biggest of the season, definitely the biggest of the week to us, that’s why you came here.
