Nick Saban remains perfect in neutral-site home openers during his tenure at the University of Alabama. The Crimson Tide cruised to a 52-6 victory against USC last Saturday night. Alabama has the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in the country with 21 commitments, and several prospects attended the game in Arlington, Texas. Many others across the country watched on television.
LaBryan Ray, Rivals100 defensive end from James Clemens High School in Madison, is arguably Alabama's top defensive target at a position of need. He remains open with his recruitment.
"I was surprised," Ray said regarding the outcome of the game.
