No. 2 Alabama Faces Road Test at No. 20 Arkansas

Today’s sports schedule gets going bright and early with the North London Derby. Then you can settle in for a full day of college football and a potentially season-defining matchup in MLB.

Here’s what I’m watching today.

A quick note: Due to COVID-19, sports schedules are fluid and subject to change.

MUST WATCH:

College football: No. 2 Alabama at No. 20 Arkansas

The last time Alabama went on the road against a Power 5 opponent, it was a nail-biter. The Crimson Tide eked out a 20–19 win over Texas last month. Now they’ll head into a raucous SEC West environment in Fayetteville, where they haven’t lost since 2006.
