What to look for
Alabama should have no problem with the Hilltoppers if were being honest here, but taking your opponent lightly is a recipe for disaster. Coach DeBoer highlighted three key elements to watch on offense, and the defense is looking to get off to a hot start with new rules under Kane Wommack.
