Former Alabama coach Nick Saban reacted Monday evening to Alabama’s loss to Florida State on Saturday.
“Obviously for me, and for a lot of the ‘Bama fans, the disappointment that Florida State dominated the line of scrimmage of both sides of the ball,” Saban said during ESPN’s College Football Countdown before North Carolina-TCU.
“But the good news is every team has the best opportunity to improve from Week 1 to Week 2. Because really going into the season, you don’t really know what you have for sure as a coach. You’re always very anxious about what you might happen in the first game.
“I’m sure they’re all disappointed — players, coaches alike. But they all do have a great chance to improve from Week 1 to Week 2. That’s when you make the biggest improvement.”
Alabama hosts Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday night in Bryant-Denny Stadium as a 37.5-point favorite.
