Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban
"Well I'm obviously very pleased and happy with the results and the way
we responded in the second half. It was a little lackluster in the
first half, which is a little bit concerning, but there was a concern
going into the game, and something we tried to fight all week in terms
of guys being focused on what's happening right now, and not being
concerned about the future, and challenging themselves to play and
having the proper respect for the team that we were playing.
Head
Coach Nick Saban and select players - Tennessee week
“There’s nothing really new about the last game other than the fact
that I think the real key in the game was the way we won on the line of
scrimmage, on both sides of the ball. We were able to control the line
of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and that was probably the
difference in the game.
Head
Coach Nick Saban - Mississippi week
“The Vanderbilt game was a tale of two teams. We didn’t play very well
in the first half. I think this is probably a pretty good example of
how average you can be when you don’t do things the way you need to do
them—finish plays, finish blocks, make mental errors, don’t tackle
well. Most of that stuff comes from the mental intensity that you have
going into the game, but I was really pleased with the way the team
responded at halftime.

The Southeastern Conference has released its composite 2011 football

“I haven’t heard any negativity,” SEC associate commissioner Charles

Alabama quickly balked when last year’s schedule was released, because
the Crimson Tide were forced to play their final six league games
against teams that had open dates the week before. The Tide wound up
3-3 in those games, the lone blemishes of a 10-3 season that culminated
with a 49-7 thrashing of Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl.

easing off the pedal for Alabama in 2011
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It’s probably not a huge revelation that the Auburn
loss last season gnawed unmercifully at Nick Saban.
Any loss in the Iron Bowl tends to have that effect, and when it’s at
home against the No. 1-ranked team in the country, seeing it slip away
is all the more nauseating.
But what ate and still eats at Saban is the way his Alabama team lost
that game.
In many ways, it was a microcosm of the Crimson Tide’s entire season.
