Jumbo Package: Alabama, Saban look to use the extended offseason to their advantage

For sophomore linebacker Christian Harris, the extended wait for the start of the SEC’s delayed, conference-only schedule has a benefit.

“We’re just really, like I said, locked in on getting back to the Alabama standard, no matter how long it’s going to take,” he said Monday. “I think, if anything, having more time helps us really focus in on the things that we need to work on and we saw last season that we lacked on.”

This is an interesting perspective from Harris. With so much time dedicated to studying the game and working out rather than practicing, we may see some differences in the way the team plays this season.
