TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — In the middle of a two-week stretch of less-than-stellar competition, Alabama coach Nick Saban is preaching “focus stamina” to his No. 3 Crimson Tide.
“To get better one thing at a time, one day at a time, one play at a time,” Saban said. “If each individual improves, then we have a chance to improve collectively as a team.”
After a 41-0 lightning-shortened drubbing of Florida Atlantic, Alabama will take the field against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles.
The competition isn’t exactly getting steeper either. Southern Miss is 2-24 dating back to the beginning of the 2012 season, with its only wins coming against UAB in 2013 and FCS Alcorn State on Saturday.
So for Alabama it’s another week to fine-tune some things, get younger players more reps and of course watch the quarterbacks again before Florida comes to Tuscaloosa next weekend to open SEC play.
But hey, last time these two teams played, this happened.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
Time: 5 p.m. CT
Place: Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
TV: ESPN2
Radio: Crimson Tide Sports Network, Southern Miss IMG Sports Network
Spread: Alabama by 47-48, according to OddsShark.com.
