On Nov. 5, McCarron had no emotional edge. He wasn’t himself, and he didn’t play like it.
Almost immediately after, Saban told him to rev up that emotion, and here the two are -- days away from competing for a national championship.
McCarron said his antics -- which sometimes can be just random arm flailing, as Jones pointed out -- aren’t just for him. McCarron believes they energize his teammates, and Alabama will need plenty of that against LSU on Monday.
“I gotta play with emotion,” he said.
I hope on Monday, he goes apes*@t. I always felt like he was a bit too calm in the 1st LSU game.
