Alabama Football returns to Bryant-Denny for its third game of the 2022 season. The afternoon contest is scheduled for a 3:01 PM CST kickoff.
The primary TV broadcast will be on the SEC Network. The broadcast team is Taylor Zarzour, Matt Stinchcomb and Coley Harvey.
The live stream of the SEC Network broadcast will be available on the ESPN app. The game can also be seen through fuboTV.
Radio coverage will be provided by the Crimson Tide Sports Network (CTSN) with Chris Stewart, John Parker Wilson, Christian Miller and Roger Hoover. Along with the CTSN’s many radio stations, it can also be heard on Sirius/XM 133 or 190/961.
The Tuscaloosa weather at game time is expected to be sunny and 87 degrees with a slight, 5-mph breeze. There is no rain in the forecast anytime Saturday or Saturday night.
The only Alabama Crimson Tide players expected to miss the ULM are those previously injured and who were not available for the Texas game. They are wide receivers Tyler Harrell, JoJo Earle and Aaron Anderson; defensive back, Earl Woods Jr.; defensive lineman, Isaiah Hastings and offensive lineman, Elijah Pritchett.
The game will be a reunion of sorts for ULM Head Coach Terry Bowden, who led the Auburn Tigers to wins over the Alabama Crimson Tide in 1993, 1995 and 1997.
The Crimson Tide has beaten ULM twice, in 2006 and 2015, and has one loss to ULM in the 2007 season.
Alabama Football vs. ULM Game Prediction
As of Friday night, FanDuel had the spread at Alabama – 49.5, with an over/under of 61.5 points. Even though the spread is a high number, it is possible the Crimson Tide will cover. ULM will struggle to score points and a shutout is possible. Though Nick Saban does not like to pound outmatched teams, the Tide’s offensive line and wide receiver groups need to show improvement during game action and might play longer than needed to assure the win.
In addition, the Tide’s backup QBs, Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson are capable of leading Alabama to third and fourth-quarter points.
Game Prediction: Alabama 55 – Louisiana Monroe 6
