Duke will try and keep pace with Alabama in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff

Things don’t normally go well for teams when they face the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Duke Blue Devils try and buck that trend on Saturday afternoon.

The Blue Devils and the Tide meet in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game from the Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Duke has previously met Alabama in 2010 with the Crimson Tide rolling Duke in Durham 62-13.

Nick Saban‘s team enters the 2019 season off of an embarrassing loss in the National Championship Game last season to the Clemson Tigers and thus are the No. 2 team in the country.

Alabama brings back a lot of talent this season including Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Tua Tagovalioa and wide reciever Jerry Jeudy.
