How did Bill Belichick spend his bye week? Watching the LSU-Alabama football game.
In an interview with Scott Zolak on Coffee with the Coach, the Patriots head coach said he spent his weekend watching the Tigers defeat long-time rival Crimson Tide, 46-41, on Saturday.
“Yeah that was some game,” Belichick said. “There were some good football games Saturday.”
Belichick also said that he enjoyed the high level of competition displayed and thinks that there are about “40” pro-level players on both teams, “20 on each.” That judgment could be true considering Alabama has had 32 players drafted in the past three NFL drafts and LSU has had 18.
