Third-ranked Crimson Tide hosts No. 11 Texas on Saturday night
“I like this year’s personality,” Saban said. “These guys have fun playing, they work hard. They’ve got really chemistry. We don’t have a lot of negative … I call them ‘energy vampires’ — guys that constantly need attention, doing things they’re not supposed to do. These guys have bought in, and they’re doing things the right way.”On the challenge of a new season, with new players and coaches
“It’s a challenge. Every team is a challenge, a new challenge. There’s new leadership on every team, new roles, new coaches. All these things that have been done in the past have nothing to do with what’s going to be done in the future. “So you’re kind of driven, you continue to have a standard that you really want to work to and you want to see the program aspire to. And that’s the challenge that I love.”“This is a test, obviously, an early-in-the-season test, and let’s see where we’re at. It’s kind of like taking a midterm. You’re ready, you’ve worked hard to prepare, and everybody’s got to go out and play well against a good team.
