Coach Nick Saban said the Crimson Tide didn't suffer serious injuries during a physical game that took a steady toll on LSU. Receiver Marquis Maze appeared to tweak his ankle early in the second half but returned to the game. Cornerback Javier Arenas, who has been playing with the rib injury, said he got the wind knocked out of him on a return. "We didn't have anybody that left the...

I doubt the foam "Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer" Nick Saban is holding would be an effective defense. However, the tandem of LB Rolando McClain and DT Terrence Cody could thwart even the most aggressive Tiger attack.

Let's just get something out of the way: I don't like Nick Saban. I appreciate what he did for our program, but it was a relationship in which both parties were using each other. We got a national title out of the deal, he spent every season looking for another gig, and eventually someone left more money on the dresser than we did. Hey, that's how it goes. I didn't like him when he was...

Even coach Nick Saban has expressed concern, saying he wants the offense to be more aggressive, passing more downfield, taking a "guns-a-blazing" approach into a Saturday showdown against coach Les Miles' No. 9 LSU Tigers. To which Dave Rader laughed. "Is he talking to Coach Miles, or is he really meaning that?" the two-time former Alabama assistant coach said. "That...

As usual, Saban wants the media's focus on two teams (not two coaches) as Alabama gears up to face LSU again. It's just for the first time in three years, he may actually get his wish.

By Chase Goodbread Sports Writer TUSCALOOSA | Nick Saban said during the idle week he wanted his University of Alabama team to come out “guns blazing” offensively against LSU after struggling the previous three games. And while UA didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard early, the formations and play-calling made it clear the Tigers would be tested deep and often.

By Aaron Suttles Sports Writer TUSCALOOSA | For the first time this season, Mark Ingram was essentially phased out of the University of Alabama’s game plan in the first half. It wasn’t LSU that stopped the sudden Heisman Trophy candidate. No, instead it was Alabama coach Nick Saban and offensive coordinator Jim McElwain.
