"I look at our team physically, emotionally and mentally and think that this is a good time for us to get a little rest. Even though we don't have a lot of guys missing games, we've got a lot of guys beat up. ... They've played with a lot of intensity, a lot of toughness, a lot of intangibles and probably challenged themselves a little bit more maybe than most teams that I've coached."

Coach Saban gives us another reason to be proud of the way the team has played this season.

Roll Tide...

It’s definitely been a couple emotional weeks for the team. Hope the team will stay smart and focused the next couple of weeks, but also take advantage of the off week with their recovery.

True enough...

We need this off week to get back healthy again…

Cody still isn’t 100%, Upchurch and Alexander both missed the last game… McClain was nicked up on what I thought was a cheap shot in the MSU game, and guys like Coffee are wearing around these huge braces.

We’ve been really fortunate on the injury front this year, but we are now showing the signs of having gone through a brutal 11 game stretch with only one off-week. We need to get healthy ASAP, and perhaps more importantly, we are going to have to come out of the Auburn game healthy. If we go to Atlanta all beat-up, we’re in trouble…

yea...I also hope the Auburn game is a blowout (in our favor, of course)...

so that we don’t come out of a battle just to go into another one (SECCG)…
and it’d be nice if FSU gave FL a hard time, so they’d be worn-out for our match up…

Consider for a second...

…what it says about this team that he would make a statement like this. Remember, this is a guy who has never, ever wants to make comparisons. He must really be fond of this group.
