What should we expect out of Texas and Alabama tonight?

The Texas Longhorns are coming off a 37-10 home win over the Rice Owls, a game in which quarterback sophomore Quinn Ewers went 19-of-30 for 260 yards and three touchdowns.

The Alabama Crimson Tide saw quarterback sophomore Jalen Milroe have a massive game in a 56-7 home win over the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.

Milroe finished 13-of-18 for 194 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing seven times for 48 yards and two touchdowns.

These teams have a lot of offense and should be able to score at will, especially with Steve Sarkisian and Nick Saban calling the plays.

In this matchup last season in Texas, Alabama picked up a 20-19 victory but Ewers suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to miss a majority of the game. He was 9-of-12 for 134 yards and had the Crimson Tide on their heels defensively.

While both teams have hopes of lifting a national championship, this game is going to mean a lot in terms of the voters. Alabama has the more rounded team but Texas has an incredible amount of talent on their roster. Without running back Bijan Robinson in the backfield this season, the Longhorns do not pose that similar threat on the ground, and that could be the difference here.

Expect the Alabama Crimson Tide to pick up a win at home and improve to 2-0.
