Yes, that would be a bald eagle heading down to the field during the singing of the national anthem. The same kind of event that happens before every game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the Plain.
Is that a bad omen for Alabama?
On the Crimson Tide’s first play, they got called for a pass interference, but then quickly chased the Spartans off the field three plays later.
