Nick Saban has many reputations, including not running the score up on opponents. The Alabama head coach may not again Saturday against Arkansas, although many expect him to because the Crimson Tide beat Texas A&M just 27-19 last Saturday.
Saban seldom seems to do what the public expects him to except win.
Plus, he made his statement when he beat Vanderbilt 59-0 and Ole Miss 66-3. He doesn't miss, or need, Lane Kiffin or even Steve Sarkisian as offensive coordinators.
Saban seems 100 percent focused on his football team, but he knows University of Arkansas, Fayetteville head Coach Bret Bielema is getting a lot of heat, and he may not want to turn the flame up.
