Alabama has its share of questions heading into the 2026 opener against East Carolina. But as Alabama heads into East Carolina, there is no real talk about growing pains. It's anticipation, one where Alabama can't wait to show what it has been working on for the past eight months. That is the Crimson Tide Kalen DeBoer expects to show up Saturday.

Quarterback is as deep as ever, but that doesn’t mean you can treat the position as an afterthought. Josh Allen holds down the QB1 spot, with Drake Maye, Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels right behind him thanks to the rushing upside that can separate the elite fantasy options from the rest of the position.

The other Tigers team in this matchup, Clemson, also endured a rough 2025 season and fell well short of championship expectations. Dabo Swinney is still in charge, but he has a new quarterback in Christopher Vizzina and will look to restore Clemson to ACC power status. An upset on the road would signal that Clemson is primed for a rebound season.
