Nick Saban enters his 15th season as head coach of Alabama football this weekend.
After an undefeated campaign in 2020, he is excited to guide the Crimson Tide to an opportunity for back-to-back national championships since 2011 and 2012.
He is 10-0 all-time in marquee season openers, including six victories versus programs in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Alabama will battle Miami on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. for the first time since the 1993 Sugar Bowl.
Despite losing talent to the National Football League, the Tide has a team ready to work.
Coach Saban mentioned during preseason camp that the Tide had competition at center (Chris Owens, Darrian Dalcourt) and right tackle (Kendall Randolph, JC Latham) on the offensive line.
