Good Thursday morning, Tide fans! Welcome to yet another edition of Alabama Morning Drive. We are one day closer to week zero of the college football season.
Head football coach Nick Saban took time following Alabama’s 17th practice of fall camp to speak to members of the media on Wednesday. Today we will touch on a few of the most exciting topics that coach Saban discussed.
One of the most scrutinized positions this offseason has been the offensive line, Coach Saban was asked about the mentality of the offensive line throughout fall camp, and here is what he had to say.
“I’m encouraged by the improvements that we made in the offensive line. We seem to have a little better mentality. I think the personality of their coach has definitely added something to the mentality of how we play and what we’re doing and how we’re doing. And I think the personality of the players is certainly something that has been a real positive in terms of how they approach things and what they’ve tried to do. So I feel more comfortable in the running game that we have. And we’re able to pass protect a little better. I’ve been really pleased with the progress that group has made.”
