ATLANTA, Ga. -- Nick Saban’s domination of his former assistants continues.
Jim McElwain, Saban’s offensive coordinator from 2008-11, used smoke and mirrors to win 10 games and reach the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Saturday, but his Florida Gators were ultimately no match for the Alabama Crimson Tide, which dominated on defense and overcame a slow start to win, 29-15, and claim a second straight conference title.
With the win, Saban improves to 8-0 against his former assistants, with each win coming by at least two touchdowns.
More importantly, the win means No.
