Saban presser upcoming. Be prepared for an unbelievable amount of "better than you think" and "really playing their best ball of the year."
2016 Week Twelve Gameweek (UTC) Thread (Practice Reports, Press Conferences)
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
This presser is rated not safe for media. High potential for rants and general hostility towards assumptions made regarding the quality of the opponent.
Saban: "Special teams-wise, there are definitely areas we need to improve on that we need to work on this week."
Saban: This week it's the old Shawshank saying "You're either busy living or busy dying."
Saban: Chattanooga is a well-coached team. One of the top teams in their division. 14 starters from last year's team.
Saban on Josh Jacobs: "I really thought he looked like his old self in this last game and was really productive."
Saban on margin of victory: "I've heard people on the committee that it's not a factor, ... and I don't think it should be considered."
Saban on Kirven & Casher at RG: "I thought they both played well in the game. So we'll continue to give them work and reps there."
Saban on the message to his team following the losses of No. 2, 3, 4: When you win, you control your own destiny.
Saban on Alphonse Taylor: I think that's a medical decision. I'm not assuming he's going to come back. I don't think he will.
Saban on Bo Scarbourgh: He has a sprained knee. He just have to go back out there and get his conditioning.
Saban on winning in November: Players need to have a big focus on what they need to do right now.
Saban on Tony Brown: He had a nice game. There's certainly things he can improve upon.

I was afraid of that with Taylor. Taking more than a couple weeks to get cleared and having had at least one before was a bad sign. I'm praying that there are no long term lingering effect on his health and future outside of football.
Might give a little insight as to who was at fault for the INT. Jalen's throw and Stewart's route weren't very close, so it's hard to tell who was at fault.
Hurts wins offensive player of the week for the entire SEC, and half of his stats went to Stewart. This is an absurd oversight. Seriously, Howard over Stewart? Bad call.
Stewart's long touchdown was sprung by a key block by Howard at the line of scrimmage. But I still don't see how Stewart doesn't get recognized this week.
Coach did allude to Stewart being at fault on that INT. Said he was suppose to go in front of the CB and did not. That's why it looked as badly as he did.

Yeah, Stewart said the same thing. I went back and looked at the play. Stewart did fake inside and as soon as he did, Hurts threw it.

This is a true freshman who has spent most of the year as a backup, and yet his "old self" already speaks for itself. Such a natural instinct.
Uh OJ graded out at 89.5 last Saturday. The highest of anyone on the field. Not saying that's what they use but Bozeman, Dalvin, Payne also graded out 80+. My point is that stats aren't the sole factor in making that list. Frankly I bet AS is cool with just toting that ax around

I believe the awards are given based on each player's grade from the grade. Coaches tend to select the top player from each position group, but sometimes they go with multiple players at the same position.
