Alabama football players discussed how to successfully navigate a bye week.
“It’s a welcome time to have an open date,” Saban said during the SEC coaches teleconference on Wednesday. “We played eight straight weeks and there’s a lot of wear and tear on your team.”
Alabama lost that game last year. If its championship ambitions are going to come to fruition in 2023, that result can’t happen again. The Tigers also had an open date on Saturday. Both teams will have had two weeks to prepare for the matchup, which could play a deciding factor in the SEC West chase. Alabama enters the home stretch of the regular season coming out of the bye. After LSU, the Crimson Tide faces Kentucky on the road, then has Chattanooga in Tuscaloosa before the Iron Bowl at Auburn.
