Jumbo Package: Mac Jones earns another honor, Kiffin-Saban matchup takes center stage

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Not a lot going on today, but with Ole Miss next on the schedule, Lane Kiffin’s first head to head meeting with Saban since leaving Tuscaloosa will be the topic du jour.

“No offense to Clemson,” Kiffin said. “Those are the two premier programs that are operating on the highest level over the last 10 years, and [Alabama] is doing it in the SEC, which is a little bit harder.”

Saban is 20-0 against his former assistants, which Kiffin said should only underscore that there’s no such thing as an advantage because a coach was part of Saban’s system and knows how he runs his program.
