“We used to play better on the road than what we played at home,” Coach Nick Saban said, “because we had some hateful competitors on our team and when they played on the road, they were mad at 100,000 people and not the 11 guys they were playing against.'
Mentioning a few times the practice level was not where it should have been and noting his concern entering Saturday as a result, Saban continued to challenge his players’ mindset.“We used to play better on the road than what we played at home,” Saban said, “because we had some hateful competitors on our team and when they played on the road, they were mad at 100,000 people and not the 11 guys they were playing against. And they wanted to prove something to everybody.
He listed the narrow escapes last year at Florida and Auburn and Saturday’s win at Texas as games that fell into this category. “So you can’t be a team that lets the other team think they have a chance to beat you just because of the circumstances that you’re in,” Saban said. Alabama is at home the next two Saturdays against Louisiana-Monroe and Vanderbilt before heading to a hostile environment Oct. 1 at No. 10 Arkansas.
