Here is how you can watch the matchup via live stream between the USC Trojans and Alabama Crimson Tide.

The best opening weekend in college football history will continue Saturday night when the Crimson Tide and Trojans meet in Arlington, Texas in the Advocare Classic season opener. The AP Poll ranks the Trojans at 20 and Alabama at number 1. This matchup provides an early season playoff ramification for the winner and the loser.

Alabama will be looking to begin their 2016 season off on the right foot in search of yet another national championship. The Crimson Tide offense will be the unit to watch as the Tide must once again introduce a new quarterback this season. The offense also brings with it the expectations that Bo Scarbrough will be the next great Alabama running back. He’ll have a chance to show what he can do against a stout USC defense.

The USC Trojans, much like Alabama, will be starting a new quarterback in Max Browne. Browne has waited behind former Trojan Cody Kessler and is ready to lead the offense. He’ll have quite the task against one of the best defenses in the entire country. Browne will be surrounded by weapons on offense in the form of wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and running back Justin Davis.

Both teams have quarterbacks with little college playing experience. Alabama’s Cooper Bateman had one start last year against Ole Miss, but was pulled in the middle of the game for Jake Coker and never saw another start. Browne has played in mop up duty before, but never started. If one team is going to pull away from the other, quarterback play will be essential.

The defenses of both teams are physical and very fast. Due to the youth on the offensive side of the ball, the game could become very centered around the defenses. The defense that controls the game could wind up the winner.

Here’s how to watch Saturday’s USC vs Alabama live stream:

Date: Saturday, September 3
Start Time: 8 ET
Location: Arlington, Texas
Venue: AT&T Stadium
TV: ABC
Live Stream: WatchESPN

Expect Alabama to win this game, but it might not be as easy as some think. This game could get interesting if the Alabama offense isn’t able to put up enough points to pull away from USC. If the Tide allows USC to hang around then this game could get interesting.
