Alabama is coming off its biggest win of the season, a 25-20 win over Mississippi State that was not as close as the final score indicates. The Crimson Tide (9-1, 6-1), now ranked No. 2 in both polls released Sunday, get their final non-conference game of the season as they get ready for the Iron Bowl. The FCS Western Carolina Catamounts (7-4) come to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday.
