## Resource

GAME WEEK IS HERE! The Alabama Crimson Tide are finally set to take the field Saturday against East Carolina at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and Wyatt Fulton is back to help break down everything surrounding the start of the 2026 season. We kick things off with the excitement surrounding Alabama finally playing a real football game before diving into some of the biggest unanswered questions heading into Week 1. • Alabama’s remaining position battles at left guard and tight end • Who should start at defensive tackle — Bingley-Jones or Terrence Green? • What should we expect from Alabama’s interior defensive line? • Conor Talty is officially the starting kicker — what does that mean for Alabama? • Can Talty provide the consistency Alabama needs in 2026? • What should we be listening for from Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb and Kane Wommack? • And finally… WYATT MAKES HIS 2026 ALABAMA PREDICTION Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS and use code CLNS and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup!
