The Crimson Tide will open up their 2018 football season against the Louisville Cardinals on Sept. 1 in Orlando, Florida. The game will kickoff at 7 p.m. central on ABC.
This is the 4th meeting between the two storied programs. The Crimson Tide lead the all time series 2 to 1, but fell short in the last meeting between the two, which resulted in an Louisville Fiesta Bowl win by a score of 34-7.
The Tide will look for a different outcome this time around.
