Alabama will play its 2024 season opener against Western Kentucky on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the first game under new head coach Kalen DeBoer.

DeBoer replaces Nick Saban, who retired after 17 seasons and six national championships. DeBoer spent the last two seasons with Washington, where he compiled a 25-3 overall record and led the Huskies to the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship game.

DeBoer led his team into Bryant-Denny Stadium for the first time Saturday afternoon. You can watch that video above.

Alabama and Western Kentucky kick off at 6:30 p.m. (Central Time) on ESPN.
