Nick Saban is already in game-day form.
During Thursday’s first airing of “Hey Coach” for this season, he went on an epic rant to the media about overlooking the importance of Alabama playing Utah State. The Crimson Tide opens the 2022 campaign at Bryant-Denny Stadium against a school that is not a marquee college football power. Utah State won 11 games last year, including wins over two Pac-12 schools, but Alabama fans are used to the neutral site games versus big-name institutions. Reporters are wondering who can beat Alabama and can the Tide run the table to a national championship.
