Texas opened the season with a 37-10 win over Rice, but failed to cover the point spread of 35.5 points. Alabama crushed Middle Tennessee 56-7 in its Week 1 matchup.

Here we'll see Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban taking on former assistant Steve Sarkisian, and while Alabama won only 20-19 when the two teams squared up last season, Saban usually do very well against his former assistants that have moved to head coaching roles.

Also, this time they're playing in Tuscaloosa, and I expect Alabama to come out and make a statement.
