The University of Alabama begins on-field preparations for the 2011 football season today with the start of fall camp, and respect for the team coach Nick Saban will assemble is high on both a regional and national level. Start with a record number of players (16) on the media preseason All-Southeastern Conference team, including nine on the first team, and that UA was an overwhelming choice at SEC Media Days to win the league title. Throw in the No. 2 national ranking in the USA Today Coaches Poll, released Thursday, and Sabanās ever-present guard against the dangers of high expectations will see no rest in the coming weeks.
