"This is really the first home game we've had where we're playing a team that is really a ranked team," Saban said. "We haven't played our best football at home. We've really played our best football on the road for whatever reasons. I've addressed that with the players, but I'm hopeful that we'll have the kind of excitement and enthusiasm in the stadium that will help our players from an emotional standpoint and also make it difficult for them. They are a no-huddle team again, so maybe we can affect their communication a little bit with some of the noise and inspiration that our fans can give our players."
