While Saban admitted to entering the Georgia game with a plan to play it conservatively, he said that’s never been the case in this series.
“The good news is we’ve played these games before and we certainly understand them”, Miles said.
Tide running back Derrick Henry is one of 19 semifinalists for the Maxwell Award which is given to the collegiate player of the year. “My goal is to do the best job that we can as a coach and a coaching staff in preparing our players to play the best that they can all season long”. “From the beginning of the season, I thought the Cowboys would be successful, but I didn’t think they would be 8-0 at this juncture”. “I think, bigger than that, my opinion of him is he was a really, really fine young man”. It is also banged up a bit at the moment as it braces for LSU quarterback Brandon Harris, who is second in the SEC and 17th nationally in passing efficiency at 153.9 on 75-of-128 passing for 1,098 yards and nine touchdowns with zero interceptions. Doing that has proved simpler in theory than in action. He sprained an ankle against Tennessee. “We’re going to give it our all”.
And if the defense stays with Geno Matias-Smith and Eddie Jackson, well, UA has confidence in those guys, too. They’ll go head-to-head with an LSU offensive line that ranks among the nation’s best, blocking for arguably the best player in the sport. And the ‘Noles won without starting quarterback Everett Golson (concussion) and starting running back Dalvin Cook (ankle). He also adds in evenly matched games and in this one, no one dominates the other. “It’s usually the GameDay (featured game on ESPN’s weekly show) so it’s hard not to see it”, Coker said. “Those memories go back to high school”. The Tigers rushing attack is led by Leonard Fournette who has rushed for 1,352 yards and 15 touchdowns and Travin Dural has 24 receptions and Malachi Dupre has 21 catches and five touchdowns. This being my senior year, this is my last shot. The two conference powerhouses are set to meet in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night in matchup that has heavy College Football Playoff implications.
“I can always tell you that this is a special week for us”, Miles said in his opening comments of his press luncheon on Monday.

On Saturday, one of college football’s most exhilarating rivalries will take place, and it has the potential to be another classic chapter in the saga. They’ll note that Alabama is not going to win a national title for the third straight year.
