The Difference

 

The Attitude

 

Call it arrogant. Call it haughty. Call it what you will, but the attitudes have changed in T-Town, and to be quite honest, I was a little scared when I first thought about it.

 

Players have been coming forth making statements that sound like they have been programmed to become some mindless robot: “We have one mission, that is the next game, we don’t know anything else.”

 

Wow, Saban really has been transforming players. When I finally gathered myself, I realized that it was not some mindless chant. Rather, it was determination from a team that is working as one unified force.

 

When you can take on an attitude that the next game is the most important of the season, whether it is Central High School or USC, then you don’t have to worry about teams sneaking up on you.

 

That has been the word all year. Bama is going to allow some team to sneak up on them. Just wait and see.

 

When they managed to hang on for two straight weeks against Kentucky and Ole Miss, I think they finally realized that the cruise control no longer works. That being said, I believe Bama will be ready for any team they play, taking nothing lightly, but finishing the job they started.
