SERIES HISTORY: Alabama has a losing record all-time against Texas

Alabama enters Week 2 ranked No. 3 in the nation, but will have to face the No. 11 Texas Longhorns. Last year’s meeting between these two teams was one of the best games of the 2022 season and this one is shaping up to be just as great.

Overall, the all-time series between these two leans heavily in favor of the Longhorns. Texas has won seven, but Alabama won the two most recent matchups, and there was a tie in 1960.

The Crimson Tide look to make it three in a row this Saturday as the program looks to build a strong enough resume to return to the College Football Playoff.
