"We practice this stuff all the time, and I think our returners need to do a better job of letting everyone else know where the ball is," Saban said. "They give the signal to get away from the ball, but they do not know where it is, so we have to get that corrected."

Cyrus Jones replaced Christion Jones on punt returns after the first-quarter fumble but Christion Jones remained in place on kickoffs, where he fumbled last week against Ole Miss. Saban didn't specify if there would be any shakeups heading into next week's game against Texas A&M...

I don't see how you can coach much of this stuff.  Sometimes the ball just bounces wrong.  But we've got to do something to rebuild our confidence.

We'll need input from hscoach.   ???

We need to get back to one on one blocking and tackling during the week. When they get tired of beating on each other they will be mad on Saturdays. RTR!
