Nick Saban keeps reminding his team to stay focused.
Distractions, noise, even rat poison: Saban can use any number of names, but his position on the subject is unwavering. During his Wednesday post-practice meeting with the media, Saban’s message continued to be the same. It’s not going to change anytime soon, not with Tennessee next on the chopping block.
“In games like this, it doesn’t really matter what your record is or what everybody is saying out there about anything that you’ve done to this point or haven’t done to this point, whether it’s good, bad or indifferent,” Saban said.
