Alabama Players Paying 'No Mind' to Nick Saban's SEC Title Picks
(July 17, 2024) - Nick Saban picked Georgia and Texas to play for the conference title this season and his players took it in stride.
"Something he taught me was not to pay attention to external factors, and since he works at the stadium now and not the facility, he's an external factor," offensive lineman Tyler Booker told ESPN, "so I'm not going to pay him no mind. He said, 'Don't listen to a guy who sits in his mother's basement and tweets all day, so I'm not going to listen to a guy who plays golf all day."
"I believe in our Alabama team, too -- I believe in Jalen Milroe," Saban said on-air. "I just think the question marks in the secondary, until those get resolved, it's hard to sort of jump on that bandwagon."
Alabama defensive back Malachi Moore conceded it's appropriate to question the secondary because of a lack of experience there, but he had to laugh at Saban's prediction.
"It's so quick to see Coach Saban take on another role other than being Coach Saban," he said, "but he has a job to do, and he's entitled to his own opinion. But yeah, we heard him."
For some perspective, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas and Oregon lead among the odds at BetUS. Alabama's odds had gotten much longer at 12-1 for a payout of $1200 for every $100 bet.
