Nick Saban takes on one of his former assistants Saturday in Austin, Texas.

Steve Sarkisian has an opportunity to match wits against his former boss. Texas has a talented team, but its fans want to know how far is the program from becoming relevant again. The Crimson Tide and Longhorns will battle at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at 11:00 a.m. CT. ESPN’s College GameDay and Fox Big Noon are providing the media coverage.

On Friday, Patrick Dowd and Stephen Smith of Touchdown Alabama Magazine previewed the highly anticipated matchup.

Alabama is 20+ point favorite for the game. We will see if the Tide covers the spread.
