TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The preseason is over, and it’s time for the real football to begin. Or something like that.
With a tip of the cap to West Virginia, which is looking better and better every week, Alabama’s three-game, warm-up stretch of the Mountaineers, Florida Atlantic and Southern Miss is over, and SEC play gets ramped up into full gear this week. The Florida Gators are coming to Tuscaloosa and will test the Crimson Tide with the most talent they’ve seen so far on defense and a much more physical offense.
Plenty of newcomers will be tested on both sides of the ball, as the pressure of SEC play ramps up the level of competition across the board.
Florida is coming off of a triple overtime win over Kentucky. It’s hard to get a good read on the Gators, since their season opener against Idaho was cancelled due to weather and their only other game was against cellar-dweller Eastern Michigan.
We’ll probably know a lot more about both teams after the weekend.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Date: Saturday, Sept. 20
Time: 2:30 p.m. CT
Place: Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
TV: CBS
