Nick Saban has made it a tradition to walk the field once he arrives to the stadium Saturday.
Saban explained why he started the tradition during “Hey Coach” Thursday.
“The number one thing is what is the field condition,” Saban said. “If you know the field’s not in good shape or whatever. Second thing is, is are there wind conditions out there? Then I’m looking at the stadium to see how the stadium’s set up. Where are the shot clocks, the 40 second clocks because every stadium is different now with all these big screen TVs and all the stuff they have in them.
