Five players we're watching heading into Alabama's game against ULM
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After a tough trip to Texas, Alabama will face a friendlier setting Saturday as it hosts Louisiana-Monroe at 3 p.m. CT inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Unlike last week’s nailbiter, the matchup isn’t likely to produce much drama as the Crimson Tide is currently favored by seven touchdowns over the Warhawks.
Still, there will be plenty to watch for as Alabama takes part in its final tuneup before SEC play. Here are five players to keep an eye on for the matchup.
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB
Outside of Bryce Young, Jahmyr Gibbs has been Alabama’s most productive playmaker on offense. The versatile running back led Alabama on the ground during its season opener against Utah State, breaking off a 58-yard gain while finishing the game with nine carries for 93 yards. During last week’s win over Texas, he served as the offense's most reliable receiver, pulling in a team-high nine receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown through the air.
