Alabama is among the worst in the country at turnover margin and penalties. The Tide's fundamentals have wavered at times this fall.
Each week, Nick Saban said, Alabama coaches talk through the records of teams with specific turnover ratios. The key is to demonstrate to players the impact that giving or taking the ball has on the fine line between win and loss.
For six weeks, Alabama has been an outlier. The No. 3 Crimson Tide rank 115th nationally with a minus-five turnover margin, tied with Kent State and North Texas. Those two teams are a combined 5-7 while Alabama has bounced between dominating teams and unraveling with the lead.
