Surely one of these days Alabama Coach Nick Saban is going to lose to one of his former assistants, right?
Maybe the 16th time will be the charm.
Saban is 15-0 against opponents coached by his former assistants, including 3-0 this season with victories over Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher 45-23, Louisiana-Lafayette and Billy Napier 56-14, and Jeremy Pruitt and Tennessee 58-21.
Georgia Coach Kirby Smart -- who is 0-1 against Saban with a 26-23 overtime loss to Alabama in last year's College Football Playoff title game -- will try to become the first Saban assistant to beat him when the Bulldogs play the Crimson Tide on Saturday in the SEC Championship Game.
