The matchup will be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC. ESPN has assigned Sean McDonough (play-by-play analyst) and Todd Blackledge (color analyst) to the broadcast booth, while Todd McShay (field analyst) and Molly McGrath (sideline reporter) will be on the field. After having an all-conference schedule in 2020, due to COVID concerns, Nick Saban is returning to facing a marquee non-conference opponent. He is 10-0 all-time as Alabama’s head coach in huge season openers.
Saban is 6-0 in facing ACC teams to open a season. He coached the Tide to a 42-3 victory over Duke in 2019.
Fans will be rocking in Atlanta for this matchup.
