Alabama is reportedly set to host Penn on Nov. 5 in the 2019-20 season opener for both teams.

Nate Oats and company will welcome the Quakers to Tuscaloosa for a matchup at Coleman Coliseum, which will mark the first meeting between the two teams since 1995.

The teams have squared off just twice all-time, with the Crimson Tide winning both games.

Penn racked up 19 victories a season ago, and it was the second-highest win total for the program since 2012.

The Tide return several top contributors while adding a top 20 recruiting class to the mix.
