Playing on the road at Kansas and Iowa State will be just as hard as playing on the road at Alabama, says former Crimson Tide assistant Jeff Banks.
Banks, who is now on Steve Sarkisian’s Texas staff as special teams coordinator after spending 2018 to ’20 coaching under Alabama’s Nick Saban, was asked about the road game this season against their future SEC foe.
“We’re just going to play another road game,” Banks said, per Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods.com. “Just as hard in Kansas and Iowa State as it is going to be in Tuscaloosa. It’s just bigger and more people.

Nathaniel Hackett addressed criticism from Sean Payton for the first time on Tuesday where he said “there’s a code, there’s a way things are done” when referring to coaching. He said the whole situation was “unfortunate” and “it sucks” but was happy the comments didn’t come during the season when the two teams are set to face off in Week 5.
“I’m almost thankful we got that out of the way. We all understand the way certain people feel and think,” Hackett told reporters.
After some lengthy negotiations, the Mets and Astros were reportedly able to come to terms on an agreement over a Justin Verlander trade, according to multiple reports. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale was the first to report the news.
Passan reported Tuesday, just a few hours before MLB’s trade deadline officially passed, that the two sides “have a deal in place,” which will see the 40-year-old return to Houston.
Verlander, who won the American League Cy Young award in 2022, has registered a 3.15 ERA across 16 starts in a Mets uniform, striking out 81 batters across 94.
At the tail end of Patriots practice Tuesday, a player exited the field carrying his shoulder pads and helmet in one hand and a small thank-you note written on white Patriots stationery in the other. He handed the note to a woman who was working security outside the friends and family tent here at Patriots training camp, on the fields right outside Gillette Stadium, and thanked her for all she was doing.
Clearly a bit emotional, she tucked the note inside her pocket and resumed her duties, which included making sure no one was filming practice during nondesignated periods.
Which star will get dealt next? Here’s what we’re hearing as the 6 p.m. ET deadline approaches.

Justin Thomas has struggled throughout 2023, which he addressed Tuesday. It has become a big storyline as the Ryder Cup nears.
It is no secret that Justin Thomas has struggled throughout 2023.
He has missed the cut in three major championships and recorded only three top-10 finishes.
Although the Cowboys released Ezekiel Elliott in the offseason, the running back remains unsigned as training camps are underway. However, with Elliott taking visits, it is not out of the question that he returns to Dallas, especially after running back Ronald Jones II was suspended for the first two games of the season.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, and he left the door open for the team to re-sign Elliott.
“We’re reading the tea leaves,” Jones said, via Audacy.com.
Kids broadcasts are all the rage these days and now the biggest game of the year, the Super Bowl, is going to be getting the Nickelodeon treatment.
CBS will broadcast Super Bowl LVII next February. But, if you’re looking to throw something on for the youngins, Nickelodeon is going to be the place to turn.
On Tuesday, the NFL and CBS Sports announced plans to put on the slimiest Super Bowl broadcast in history.
Brock Purdy passed one physical test on Monday, when a 49ers teammate went a little further than anyone would have liked.
Uncle Rico, is that you?
There was bound to be at least one hilarious meme-worthy moment from training camp, and this year it was Trey Lance.
The 49ers drafting Trey Lance put their franchise back 4-5 years. The #49ers would be legitimate Super Bowl contenders with Justin Fields under center.
