Alabama Crimson Tide Football Tickets

In an era in which teams across the nation are implementing up-tempo systems in an attempt to bury opponents in points, Nick Saban has discovered that the real blueprint to building a perennial powerhouse lies on the other side of the ball. The Alabama Crimson Tide have ridden a dominant defense to three national championships in the past four years, creating a dynasty without the use of gimmicks. Alabama’s prowess in all three facets of football was on display against Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game, as the Tide rolled the Irish on offense, defense, and special teams. Amazingly, the Crimson Tide will return 11 players who started games on last year’s top-ranked defense.  They will also return several key playmakers on offense, most notably quarterback A.J. McCarron, running back T.J. Yeldon, and receiver Amari Cooper. The rich only get richer in 2013, as Nick Saban has secured Rivals.com’s top-ranked recruiting class in the country.

While certainly positioning themselves to be the favorites in 2013, the Tide will have to conquer a difficult schedule if they want to go wire-to-wire this year. They will begin the season with a highly anticipated matchup with the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta on Aug. 31. Bryant-Denny Stadium will then play host to some key battles when the SEC slate gets underway with a matchup versus the Ole Miss Rebels (Sept. 28), before the squad welcomes the LSU Tigers to Tuscaloosa to renew the schools’ intense rivalry on Nov. 9.
