- We still aren’t sure if Quinn Ewers can deliver at the highest level of college football, and not having Bijan Robinson to lean on will really impact his ability to throw on the Alabama defense.
- Nick Saban more or less had a full offseason to prepare for Texas here, and he should have the edge from a coaching perspective here as well.
One of the biggest games in college football all season will take place in Week 2. Texas vs Alabama has star power, big name programs, and early season rankings implications that could impact the College Football Playoff race down the road. In this game, look for the Alabama Crimson Tide to take advantage of a long period of time to prepare for this game en route to a win and a cover of the 7.5-point spread.
Texas is still waiting to find out if quarterback Quinn Ewers can deliver in a game of this magnitude. While he is one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy this year, even the best quarterbacks have been knocked down a peg by Nick Saban defenses on many occasions. That is the expectation here, as the Tide should roll at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
