Alabama football returns home for Week 2 against the Sun Belt's Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks. The Crimson Tide's beaten ULM by a combined score of 97-7 in its last two meetings, fans won't hesitate to look back at the program's 2007 matchup where the Warhawks left Tuscaloosa 21-14 victors.

The Crimson Tide must get back on track quickly in 2025 to reach its aspirations, finding better consistency on offense and greater physicality on defense. They'll still likely be without running back Jam Miller and defensive tackle Tim Keenan, making it a perfect time to play someone from a lower conference.
