For Alabama, this game will likely present coach Nick Saban with an opportunity to get some valuable playing time for some of his younger, second- and third-string players. We won't see anything other than a blowout victory for the Tide behind A.J. McCarron, T.J. Yeldon, Eddie Lacy and Co.
For the Owls, it's all about hanging in for as long as they can. The team had its moments against Georgia, although the final score might not have reflected that. FAU is led by quarterback Graham Wilbert, who is completing nearly 68 percent of his passes while throwing for 569 yards and four touchdowns.
Game time, TV channel: 5 p.m. ET, ESPN3 will stream the game live.
