Alabama vs Texas looms as one of the marquee matchups of the 2022 college football season, despite the fact that the Longhorns haven’t actually been a national contender since, well, Alabama knocked them out of the Natty back in 2009.
But the fact that 2nd year head coach Steve Sarkisian is fresh out of the Saban Rehab Program from his stint as Alabama’s offensive coordinator, coupled with a trio of former Tide players transferring to Austin and a sense of optimism around the Longhorns has gotten the national media all in a tizzy.
With that, though, is the simple fact that Alabama has been pretty well impossible to beat for 13 years now, and that doesn’t look to be changing.
