Alabama football coach, Nick Saban provided warnings all week. He warned the media and Crimson Tide fans of the risks in undervaluing an opponent. He not only warned his Alabama football team, he also showed them plays from a past Georgia Southern game.
Based on the first half Saturday, many players did not heed the warnings. At halftime, the score was 10-10. After the Tide fumbled away the second-half kickoff, The Citadel kicked a 45-yard field goal to take the lead – except the Bulldogs were penalized for a false start. They had to kick again and missed.
