HOOVER, Ala. -- Gus Malzahn didn't waste much time Thursday putting his 2017 football team in the same breath as the very special 2013 Tigers team he first coached. All that team did was go 12-1 before losing to Florida State in the final seconds of the last BCS National Championship.
"Probably the biggest thing that's standing out to me about this team, that they're hungry," Malzahn said Thursday at SEC Media Days. "They're hungry and they've got something to prove. And really the last time I felt this was 2013. So that's a good comfort for me.
