Challenges for Alabama
South Carolina doesn’t have the biggest SEC stadium but they have one of the most raucous playing environments with that rooster crow and crazy fans. Carolina also has a pretty good football team. They returned a boatload of starters from 2018. One setback they’ve had is in losing their seasoned-veteran QB Jake Bentley. Redshirt freshman Ryan Hilinski, who took over for Bentley against Charleston Southern on Saturday, is now the starter for the Gamecocks. He passed for 282 yards and two touchdowns in the 72-10 USC victory. This will be for sure Alabama football’s toughest test so far in 2019.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 2:30 PM CT (3:30 PM ET). Watch on the CBS Network.
