Alabama is already set to play Florida State in 2017, and are now scheduled to play Fresno State on September 9, 2017 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It will be the first ever meeting between the two teams, and it will be the first time that Alabama has played a Mountain West opponent since 2013 when they beat Colorado State, 31-6.
Fresno State finishes up a three-game series with another SEC West team in Ole Miss this season, losing the first two to the Rebels.
