Rounding up the Alabama coach's day in Bristol.
View attachment 2645Nick Saban's whirlwind day at ESPN's studios in Bristol, Conn., has come to an end.
So what did we learn?
Well, it's clear that Saban continues to be the de facto spokesman for SEC coaches. On nearly every platform, he was asked about the Penn State scandal. He also touched on a number of other big-picture issues in college football, most of which were thoroughly covered at SEC Media Days.
But hey, there was some actual Alabama football stuff discussed during the four-hour marathon session. Here were some of the highlights.
-- Michigan might be without starting running back Fitzgerald Toussaint for its season opener with Alabama, but dynamic, dual-threat quarterback Denard Robinson will still have to be accounted for on every play.
Robinson, a senior, threw for 2,173 yards and ran for another 1,176 in 2011. Though Alabama has been largely successful at shutting down mobile quarterbacks in the past, Robinson presents a unique challenge. There simply isn't anyone in the SEC -- or the country, for that matter -- that plays the way he does.
So how does Alabama plan to stop him?
