Meanwhile, Alabama’s in-state rival is playing in a game between two teams with quarterback controversies. Oklahoma is set to start a freshman on the road in the SEC while Auburn could be heading back to Payton Thorne over Hank Brown. Or maybe a third quarterback before the day is done.
UAB hosts undefeated Navy for a morning kickoff at Protective Stadium. The Midshipmen have never played at UAB before.
South Alabama may have had the most impressive last two weeks out of anybody, setting a school record for points in a game then dominating Appalachian State on the road on national television. The Jaguars will take that momentum into Death Valley for a night game against LSU.
Some eyes would have been on Division II football this weekend but #17 West Alabama’s game against #3 Valdosta State was postponed due to weather. It has not yet been rescheduled.
