This is such a let down for fans everywhere. The internet was buzzing when people thought the Crimson Tide were going to play the Fighting Irish.

That would have been an absolutely lit game to get things going for the college football season. It would have been two historical powerhouses battling it out on the gridiron.

Instead, it looks like the Crimson Tide will play the Cougars. No offense to BYU, but they’re going to get boat raced in this matchup.

Alabama will likely have their backups in by the start of the second half.

It’s crazy that we went from thinking Alabama would play Notre Dame to potentially playing BYU. Life sure does come at you fast!
