The boys in Crimson hit the road for the first time this year, as the youngsters from Alabama head into what should be a raucous crowd at the Mitchell Center for the hometown Jaguars of South Alabama. While the Jags shouldn’t be as dangerous as they were last season, when they gave the Crimson Tide hell in Tuscaloosa, this is a really tricky road trip against an in-state foe who will almost certainly treat this game like it is their Super Bowl.
This will be a real test for the Tide - can this year’s squad avoid the valleys that last year’s team could not?
