Alabama football carried a focus to handle business last week against Louisiana State University.
The intensity of the players and coached led to a dominant, 42-13 victory on the road. Alabama, who is now No. 10 in the College Football Playoff rankings, takes on Mercer this weekend at Saban Field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. A greater attention to detail is needed Saturday as the Bears pose an interesting challenge. Kalen DeBoer has to see his offense excel and Kane Wommack wants the defense to continue shutting teams down. Tide fans desire to see how this team avoids a letdown.
