5 bold predictions for Texas football vs. Alabama

This coming weekend is set to see head coach Steve Sarkisian and Texas football take on legendary head coach Nick Saban and the No. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in a very highly anticipated matchup on Sep. 10. Texas will host Alabama at home at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin on Sep. 10, with the kickoff time set for 11 a.m. CT.

Sark and the Longhorns will get the most difficult test likely of the entire regular season this coming weekend when this team faces the reigning National Champion-runner up Alabama.

This will clearly be a very difficult test for a young Texas team this weekend, but it could also provide this group with a chance to learn against the best competition. If Texas is able to at least keep this game close and competitive with the Crimson Tide this weekend, that would be a positive sign that Sark and his staff have this program trending in the right direction.
