Alabama fans have lofty expectations and with good reason. Alabama is poised for another successful season after Saturday night's 41-14 thrashing of Michigan at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Fans may see a near perfect team, but coach Nick Saban noticed flaws.
"It's going to be all about the maturity. The team has to focus on what they need to do to correct the deficiencies. There's plenty of room for us to make progress," Saban said during Monday's news conference in Tuscaloosa. He also took a moment to praise his team's composure. "Everybody thought we were too young, too inexperienced, could not handle success. Everybody was saying all those things about our team. Now, people are saying something different," Saban added.
Alabama will host Western Kentucky for its home game opener Saturday.
