With the amount of success Alabama has had as college football&#8217;s former dynasty team, it almost seems wrong for the team to do anything new outside of its classic All-Crimson helmet with the white &#8220;A&#8221; lettered on it.<\/p>\n<p>Alabama will get back to the gridiron on Saturday as the Crimson Tide prepare to face the Mercer Bears on Saturday. Alabama comes in hot off of its 42-13 victory over LSU.<\/p>\n<p>The team currently holds a 9-1 record, still coming in as a major underdog due to the obvious difference in levels of competition faced between these two opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET on Saturday in Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kalen DeBoer was asked about the possibility of Alabama mixing up its look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":364585,"featured_media":434892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[],"class_list":["post-435359","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_types-news","teams-alabama-football"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/435359"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/364585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435359"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
