College football has been back for a few days, but there’s nothing like a Saturday afternoon showdown.
Alabama and Miami are two of the most storied programs in college football, and with two giants facing off for the first time since the 1993 Sugar Bowl, this matchup was sure to be a treat. However, the Week 1 Bombardment was anything but gentle for the Hurricanes.
There’s no place like home – er, Atlanta – for the Crimson Tide.

Alabama entered the game with a 14-game winning streak in Atlanta since losing the 2008 SEC Championship Game in the city.
Scoring wasn’t an issue for Crimson Tide tight end Cameron Latu, or the rest of the team. Alabama has now scored 30-plus points in 27 straight games, which is the second-longest streak in the AP poll era.
LATTTUUUUUU
