TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — One game down, nine to go (we hope). Only this next one is different because not only will it be the 2020 home opener for Alabama football, but the first game in renovated Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Alabama raised and spent $107 million to overhaul the facility, adding everything from a tunnel at the end of the Walk of Champions, to new video boards in each corner.

Texas A&M knows that if it wants to get to the SEC Championship Game, it has to go through the Crimson Tide.

Saban Knocking on History's Door : Alabama’s 35-16 win over then-No. 17 Michigan in the Vitrus Bowl on Jan. 1 was Saban’s 84th career win against AP Top 25 team, putting him two behind Joe Paterno’s 86 career wins against the AP Top 25, the most in history. Last season, Saban’s win over then-No. 24 Texas A&M moved him ahead of Florida State legend Bobby Bowden for second. Alabama’s Paul “Bear” Bryant is fourth at 66.
