Nick Saban knows there is something different about this team.
For the Alabama head football coach, a national championship could have been won in 2016 and 2018 — however, a problem arose in both years. Whether it was Lane Kiffin getting fired or multiple coaches having their focus on other jobs, the game plan was not given its proper attention and the Crimson Tide lost in both situations. This frustrated Saban, but it appears that he will not encounter the same obstacle on Monday night. On Sunday, he was in a joint presser with Ryan Day of Ohio State via Zoom.
