Alabama Reportedly Could Open Season vs. BYU If Non-SEC Games Are Scheduled

Alabama was scheduled to face USC in Week 1 of the 2020 college football season, but the Pac-12 decided to limit fall sports programs to in-conference games only amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

With that in mind, the Crimson Tide's Week 1 opponent may be BYU, who was scheduled to face Utah.

Matt Zenitz of AL.com provided the report Saturday and said that there is a "strong possibility" an Alabama vs. BYU matchup would occur.

However, the SEC has yet to decide the status of fall sports' 2020 schedules, per Sam Cooper of Yahoo Sports.
