Alabama traveling to Mississippi State day of the game for 11 a.m. kickoff

Alabama football is planning to travel to Mississippi State on the morning of the game.

Kickoff for the matchup is set for 11 a.m.

“Just this week, I think the other thing is an early game,” DeBoer said. “An 11 o’clock kickoff. We’re a morning practice team. We’ve had some success with those morning games but we got to go on the road and travel that morning. It’s gonna be a little different set up that way, too.

The Alabama head coach spoke on the importance of sleep after announcing the Tide will travel Saturday morning.

“They’ll bank some sleep some extra hours to make sure they’re ready to go on Saturday,” DeBoer said.

The University of Alabama and Mississippi State University are two of the closest universities in the SEC. The campuses are approximately 82.3 miles apart.
