After giving up 23 points to South Carolina and dealing with some people through social media that referred to the defense performance as “terrible,” the University of Alabama returns to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday for a 11:00 a.m. matchup against Southern Mississippi.
While many are disgusted with the kickoff time, this is a moment for Alabama to make improvements on both sides of the football.
The Golden Eagles travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala., carrying a record of 2-1 and averaging 33.3 points per game offensively.
Despite its defense allowing a bunch of points – 30.3 ppg allowed – USM has a few guys ready for the challenge.
