I didn’t think we would ever make it. It seems like decades ago that Crimson Tide fans were celebrating a win over Clemson as well as the College Football Playoff National Championship. Later this evening, the defending champions will get things started for their 2016 campaign.
Alabama holds the series edge over the Trojans with a 5-2 record. The last meeting between these two blood programs came in 1985 with the Crimson Tide seeing a 24-3 win in the Aloha Bowl.
Earlier in the week, Coach Nick Saban said that both Cooper Bateman and Blake Barnett would see action behind the center.
