As we finish the 3rd week of play and start practices for an SEC match-up this weekend, this Georgia Bulldawg feels confident but uneasy going into the 2nd SEC game of the season.
I love a 3-0 record just as much as the next person, but all three of those games have been a little rocky. All three started terribly. And while the Dawgs have fought back in each game, these SEC teams know us all too well.
Just about any other Georgia fan would say “It’s just Vandy”… but that’s where I get concerned. Does Nick Saban ever say “Oh, it’s just Vandy?” No—no, he doesn’t and Alabama plays every week like it’s for a National Title. Georgia should take notes.
The Dawgs tend to play to the level of their opponent, especially in the first half of the game. And while it may be “just Vandy,” that doesn’t mean the Commodores put up a fight. I still think the Dawgs will come out on top, but the team needs to be looking at this game as a

Once again, Nick Saban tells it like it is
This is hard for me to say considering I’m a Gator alum but Nick Saban is, without a doubt, the man. This is a guy who has won three national championships at two different schools. This is a man whose Alabama team embarrassed a defending national championship Florida team in the 2009 SEC Championship Game, making [...]

Saban expects more out of younger players
Quite a few first- and second-year players were able to get playing time in Alabama's 52-0 route of Arkansas last Saturday. But Nick Saban wasn't pleased with the way some of his youngsters prepared--or didn't prepare--for the game.

FAU-Alabama Preview
Alabama coach Nick Saban finds plenty of imperfections even given the top-ranked Crimson Tide's ridiculous scoring margin so far.
