Days after Alabama finalized a deal with Florida State to meet the Seminoles in Atlanta to open the 2017 season, the Crimson Tide has agreed to play Fresno State in Tuscaloosa, according to the Fresno Bee.
Alabama will reportedly pay the Bulldogs $1.4 million for the trip, sealing the deal for three of the Crimson Tide’s four non-conference games for 2017. A home game vs. Colorado State on Sept. 16, 2017 has been previously announced.
Fresno State has played in a bowl game three consecutive seasons.
In 2016, Alabama has already announced three non-conference opponents — USC in Arlington, Western Kentucky and Kent State.
