This Week with the Crimson Tide: Oct. 5-11, 2020

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — More Alabama athletic teams are getting into the action this week included both men’s and women’s golf.

They’ll be competing in the Blessings Collegiate Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., beginning Monday and running through Wednesday.

Over the weekend, women’s tennis will host Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State for a three-day event.

Soccer returns to action next Sunday when it hosts Arkansas at 2 p.m. (ESPNU).

The marquee sports event, of course, is Alabama at Ole Miss on Saturday at 5 p.m. (ESPN), with Nick Saban squaring off against his former offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.
