This matchup marks the 90th all-time meeting between these two programs, and the Crimson Tide enter the game with a record of 51-37-1.
The Crimson Tide have struggled to run the ball, but they fixed some of those issues last week in the 56-0 win against Eastern Illinois. They scored eight rushing touchdowns, which was the most for the team since 1979.
It has been a tough year for the Tigers, as coach Hugh Freeze was fired earlier in the season. However, freshman quarterback Deuce Knight showcased his potential as he scored six touchdowns on Saturday against Mercer. He passed for 239 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for another 162 yards and four scores.
