The Alabama football team is thankfully back to action on Satuday as the South Carolina Gamecocks come to Tuscaloosa. The Tide players, coaches, and fans are happy to put last week's debacle in Nashville behind them, and a strong rebound on Saturday at Bryant-Denny will go a long way into righting the ship and getting the Tide refocused toward its goals.

Alabama will be back on ABC for the second time this season. Two weeks ago, they defeated Georgia 41-34 in the primetime slot with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstriet on the call.

Kickoff is set for 11am CT, which will be the second time this season Alabama has kicked off in the Noon window. They played Wisconsin in Madison on FOX as part of the Big Noon Kickoff game, with the Crimson Tide dominating the Badgers 42-10 at Camp Randall.

Who are the announcers for this week's Alabama game?

For the second time this season, Alabama fans will listen to the broadcast duo of Joe Tessitore and Jesse Palmer. Tess will handle the play-by-play with Palmer as the color analyst. Tess and Palmer were on the call for Alabama's Week 2 matchup with USF that saw the Tide struggle through three and a half quarters before putting the Bulls away with a flurry of big punches in the fourth quarter.

Tessitore has notably been on the call for a lot of incredible college football moments, so much so that the term "Tess Effect" was coined. Alabama fans want no drama this week, hoping for some good old fashioned joyless murderball and a game that neutral viewers have no reason to tune into.

Former Louisville volleyball star Katie George will be the sideline reporter on Saturday afternoon.
