Storylines abound as the No. 11 Texas Longhorns head into Tuscaloosa to take on the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Not only is it a matchup of one of the best non-conference games from a year ago, you have quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Jalen Milroe potentially leading the teams, with their shared history as Texas commits recently. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and tight ends coach/special teams coordinator Jeff Banks were actually the ones who recruited Milroe to the Crimson Tide when he was committed to Texas as a part of the 2021 class, successfully flipping him before the coaches came to Austin that offseason.
