Alabama vs. Miami

Bama slides to No. 16 after a 72-68 loss to Iona on Thanksgiving.

One new face in the receiver room shined on Saturday opposite from John Metchie and gave Tide fans plenty to be excited about.

Surprisingly, this will be the first time since the 1993 Sugar Bowl that the Crimson Tide has met the “U” on the gridiron. To put that in perspective, current 18-year-old freshmen were born a decade after the last time these two teams met.

In an offense full of new faces, freshman WR JoJo Earle seems to possibly have earned his place and be primed for a breakout campaign.

In a release by the University of Alabama athletics program on Tuesday, it was announced that tickets for the season-opener football game against Miami are for sale for $125 or $250.
