This will be Scott Frost’s fourth season in Lincoln, but he’ll try to even up his opening day record to 2-2 after losing at Ohio State a year ago by the score of 52-17.
He’ll do so at Illinois on Aug. 28 with a fourth year starter at quarterback and numerous five-year super seniors on defense.

Another Bama title
Dave Bradley
Alabama and Ohio State kick off in less than two hours so it’s time for me to get my game face on.
