Longhorns vs. Alabama: How to Watch, Betting Odds

The Texas Longhorns will look to pull off the upset this time around against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas Longhorns are facing their toughest test of the season on Saturday, as they'll be taking the trip to Tuscaloosa to battle the Alabama Crimson Tide for the second straight season. The Longhorns are coming off a 37-10 season-opening win over the Rice Owls.

Texas lost a 20-19 heart-breaker to the No. 1-ranked Tide in Austin last season. Led by Heisman-winning quarterback Bryce Young, Alabama marched down the field in the final minutes to kick a game-winning field goal.

Both sides will look different this time around. Young has gone on to the NFL and will be replaced by Texas native Jalen Milroe at quarterback.

The Longhorns have lost some of their star power to the NFL as well. Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson have departed from Austin, meaning the team's new-look backfield will have a major opportunity to show what they can do.

Safe to say that the Longhorns know the task at hand on Saturday after taking care of business against Rice.

"We enjoyed (the win)," defensive lineman Byron Murphy said postgame. "We know what's ahead of us this week. ... We're not going to back down. We're going to play to the whistle until it's all over with."
