Since the LSU game, Nick Saban has been busy reminding his Alabama football team about the Alabama Factor. The ‘Alabama Factor’ has been a Saban theme going way back but Nick has particularly focused on it since the loss to Clemson.
One upside of the loss to the Bengal Tigers is young and less mature players who were not listening carefully to Saban before, have a new motivation to pay attention. Given the Crimson Tide must win out and do so convincingly this week and the next should be strong incentive.
It would be easy for any team following a big loss to give in to human weaknesses.
