After an exciting season, QB Jalen Hurts and the rest of the squad return to pick up where they left off on the Road to 17! Kick-off is set for 2:00 PM!
West Alabama Food and Wine Festival (April 27): How does an evening spent sampling delicious wines paired with the best of Tuscaloosa cuisine while taking in the beauty of the Black Warrior River sound?
