Alabama closed out its incredible run with former coach Nick Saban in 2023 with a 12-2 record and a loss to eventual national champion Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinals. That loss snapped a remarkable streak of eight straight years with at least one postseason win under Saban, who wrapped his 17-year run in Tuscaloosa with a 206-29 record, six national championships and three more appearances in the title game.

All of this is to say that Week 1 is significant for ‘Bama and marks a tenure with high expectations that DeBoer says he embraces coming from a nice run of his own in two short seasons at Washington. He paired with first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. in compiling a 27-3 record while reaching the national title game in ‘23.
Western Kentucky is a 34.5-point underdog in this one, an understandable position for a squad going into Tuscaloosa but that’s also coming off an 8-5 season and a 38-35 overtime win over Old Dominion in the prestigious Famous Toastery Bowl.
The Crimson Tide and Hilltoppers are set for a 7 p.m. ET start on ESPN. Live streams are available from FuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (low intro rate).
