Nick Saban is celebrating a couple of anniversaries this season.
People have brought up the two-year mark of his famous “Rat Poison” speech after the Texas A&M game and it’s also the 10-year anniversary of “Rocky Block” versus Tennessee in 2009, featuring Terrence Cody. These memories are second nature; however, Saban is approaching a one-year mark for something that has yet to be mentioned by reporters so far this week.
In the 2018 meeting with the Volunteers at Neylan Stadium, Alabama replaced Skyler DeLong for a walk-on punter in the starting lineup. Despite being highly-touted out of South Carolina, DeLong struggled through the first five games of last season, and Mike Bernier got the nod.
