Nick Saban talks home opener, Taulia Tagovailoa, O-line
Summary
Nick Saban had his weekly radio show Thursday night in advance of Alabama’s home opener against New Mexico State. I would love to play all night games in September in Alabama, but we don’t get the opportunity to determine that. While it’s “too early to tell” what kind of player he’ll be, “there’s a lot of potential there.” — While Alabama only had one sack against Duke, the pass rush was exactly what Saban wanted it to be because the key was to keep Duke’s quarterback, who’s a dual-threat guy, from scrambling and making plays as a runner. — Alabama has seven players it considers starting-caliber along the offensive line and the team is still in the process of trying to find the right starting combination, according to Saban. Dale and freshman inside linebackers Shane Lee and Christian Harris all played “well” against Duke.
