(AP) - Missouri intends to wear its black jerseys for Saturday’s high-profile showdown with Alabama.

Evidently, Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer plans to wear black, too.

During an SEC conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz hung around on the line after his allotted time to ask DeBoer, who immediately follows him in the lineup, a very simple question: “Are you going to wear that black hoodie on the sideline this game with us wearing black jerseys?”

Turns out the eighth-ranked Crimson Tide is 12-2 when DeBoer wears his so-called Black Hoodie of Death, including a win last week over then-unbeaten Vanderbilt. (He wore a crimson-colored polo when they lost to Florida State to open the season.)
