TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Nick Saban wants his Alabama team still happy when the season's over, not just all aglow after one big win.
Another loss, after all, spoils the good mood.
The eighth-ranked Crimson Tide, coming off a redemptive rout of No. 19 Georgia, tries to keep it going Saturday night when Arkansas visits Bryant-Denny Stadium after a big win of its own.
"We are what we are as an identity only if it happens on a continuum," Saban said. "You always have the next challenge. You always have the next game. You can look at teams all over the country who have big wins and then two weeks later they're not so happy again.
