Alabama's season may have aged coach Nick Saban a bit, but he's not complaining. Nothing has come easy so far for the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban gets reactson the sideline during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Tennessee, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. **FILE**Nothing has come easy so far for the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide.
“I love it. It’s been great,” Saban said after the game. “The challenges are great. I enjoy coaching this team. That’s not to say that they’re not taking years off my life, but I’m OK with that.” Then Alabama dominated the second half, 27-0, making key stops on defense and big plays on offense. It was a vintage Tide performance — for 30 minutes.
Milroe overcame a fumble and an interception in the end zone. But Alabama committed only one penalty for 5 yards and allowed just one second-half sack after giving up three before halftime.“That was a tremendous focus,” said linebacker Chris Braswell, whose fourth-quarter sack and forced fumble led to a scoop-and-score touchdown. “We always talk about playing to the ‘Bama standard and playing disciplined.
Saban is mostly enjoying the occasionally bumpy ride and how his team has shown resilience, if not the issues that have surfaced with more frequency than he’d like.
