Saban may downplay his role, but players say the team takes its cue from him. He's emphasized staying away from the clutter more this season.
"(He has), mainly because it's happened more this year," senior linebacker C.J. Mosley said. "I mean, hopefully we've had our last little incident happen. So, hopefully, that's the last one. But if it does (happen again), Coach always does a good job of disciplining people and they come back positive because they know they messed up and they try to do their best to prove that they can be successful on this team."
This team is talented, but it might not be on par with teams of the recent past. Most teams aren't burdened with rebuilding while under the glare and pressure of a top ranking. Those outside expectations that were thrust upon Alabama and Saban haven't affected the team thus far. The credit for that goes to Saban. He won't allow them to.
"Because, really, all that stuff that happened, if we don't let it affect us inside here, it won't be a problem," Mosley said. "Basically, what's off the field is off the field."
