Alabama head coach Nick Saban and senior punter JK Scott are important components for a program that despite facing adversity, it still controls its own destiny for the postseason.
In helping to push a 10-0 school that’s No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, both individuals were chosen as semifinalists for national awards on Thursday.
For Saban, he is one of 16 head coaches up for the George Munger Coach of the Year award – via Maxwell Football Club – while Scott is one of 10 guys nominated for the Ray Guy honor.
