If a loss is necessary for Alabama football to develop, Nick Saban questioned. Now it has one, so we’ll see Good bread
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Two days after the Alabama football team withstood a fierce second-half comeback attempt by the Arkansas Razorbacks, coach Nick Saban stood in front of a microphone and addressed a question he asked his team: “Do you need to lose a game to learn?
The answer to that question – yes – rang out loud in the Smoky Mountains on Saturday. Defeated by rival Tennessee by a score of 52-49 at Neyland Stadium. But the loss is only half of that equation, and whether or not the Crimson Tide learns from it will be revealed in the final five games of the season.
The first lesson should start with penalties, which have been a big problem for the Crimson Tide, especially in road games. As if 15 flags in Texas weren’t enough, and 10 more in Arkansas as an encore, Alabama committed a school-record 17 penalties for 130 yards in Knoxville.
That would include seven in the first quarter alone, helping the Volunteers take a 21-7 lead. On one opening drive, an Alabama offence that eventually racked up 569 yards was able to drive backward, take over at its 14-yard line and score three flags in five snaps at its own 2. Punting from Alabama entered with 121st out of 131 FBS teams in penalties with 49, and now with 66, the Tide is certain to sink toward the bottom of that dubious list.
The problems didn’t just come in the form of penalties, however, and the biggest of the other unforced errors was on a Tennessee punt, recovered by the Volunteers, that should have been Alabama’s first defensive stop, instead of UT’s. led to K’s fourth touchdown.
“It’s not just penalties. It’s ‘Did I stop the right guy? Did I do it the right way? Did I cover the right guy? Did I cover him the right way? Did I pass the passer?’ ran correctly? did we run?’ Stunts to stop the run, stay in my space?” Saban said. To play as a team, the instructor advised, “You have to pay attention to all of those little aspects.”

Alabama analysis: Alabama football’s disastrous defensive performance vs. Tennessee
It was a relatively quiet day for Alabama’s pass rush (one sack), and as a result, it made for a noisy day in its secondary. With plenty of time to throw, Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker exposed the Crimson Tide’s defensive backfield. Meanwhile, UT’s rushing attack made some noise of its own, as Jabri Small and Jaylen Wright combined for 124 yards on 24 carries to back the Volunteers.
Credit will be given to Tennessee in this regard. The offense of the Volunteers became known as the SEC’s most formidable force. And he did so without his most talented wide receiver, the injured Cedric Tillman.
Whatever lessons can be learned from losses, they must be learned quickly. Will Rogers, one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC, is Mississippi State’s quarterback for the upcoming week.
With a victory over Auburn, Ole Miss improved to 7-0 and is currently in charge of the SEC West Division. The Rebels are hoping to make it to the SEC championship game for the first time in the program’s history. However, Alabama also controls its destiny. And in a seemingly rare moment for Saban, the coach spoke to the rest of the season, not just the next game.
We could accomplish every goal we set for ourselves at the beginning of the season, I pledged to the guys. There’s no room for error in the West. If we win the West, we can win the West, and Still a chance to go to an SEC Championship Game,” Saban said. But if you want to get better, you must take the lessons from those errors. You must learn from your mistakes.
Indeed, Neyland Stadium had a lot to learn from them. But the harm does not allow learning.
And for Alabama, the window of opportunity has now closed.
The final weapon in Saban’s recruiting arsenal is his wife, who was once an Adame Black Diamonds cheerleader. When a prospect takes an official visit to Tuscaloosa, he and his family will usually spend time with Terry Saban, or “Miss Terry” as everyone at Alabama calls her, including Saban himself.
Elegant, sophisticated, a master conversationalist and as warm as a living room fireplace on a winter’s night, Miss Terry is the maternal figure throughout the program.
She hosts a recruiting party every spring after the A-Day game at the Sabans’ sprawling home on Lake Tuscaloosa, a few miles north of campus.
While Saban grills and talks Xs and O’s with the recruits, Miss Terry will open the windows and doors to let the spring air freshen the house, and she moves from family to family with royal skill. will be moved.
Terry spends countless hours with the players once they’re on campus, and in many ways, she’s very close to Saban — the man who makes parents of recruits feel like their child will be taken care of in Tuscaloosa. will
Terry does a fantastic job, in my opinion, not just about what we do or strive to achieve, but also about hiring, getting to know, and developing relationships with people who are very They need to feel comfortable coming in and visiting our university,” Saban said.”… She is quick to point out when we are running the ball up the middle excessively, not passing enough, or not blitzing the defense enough. All of those concerns me greatly. All the feedback comes in. I would say he’s probably as big a part of the program as his time, his commitment.”
Terri Saban might cringe at the thought of being cast as a key player in her husband’s recruiting process, but she is. She was his original recruit, becoming the center of attention as a cheeky teenager on their first date in 1968 when Saban took her to see Gone With the Wind at the Lee Movie Theater in Fairmont, West Virginia. I took
Yes, even then, there was something about Nick Saban that attracted 5-star talent.
