Crimson Tide’s First Test | Birmingham News

Alabama’s football season kicks off this Saturday against East Carolina, with the Crimson Tide aiming to bounce back strong. Key to their success? A revamped running game featuring freshman EJ Crowell and a new offensive line, plus first-time starter Keelon Russell at QB—whose poise under pressure could make or break the offense. On defense, a loaded secondary led by Bray Hubbard and Keon Sabb, along with a potent pass rush, is expected to dominate early. This opener is all about execution, setting the tone for a tough SEC season ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
