Spring Practice Summed up by One Simple Phrase....

Saban: ‘We have things to work on’


“I think that, offensively, we don’t have enough depth and we don’t have enough playmakers right now,” Saban said. “I don’t think we have enough depth in the offensive line. The second offensive line, their quarterbacks (Star Jackson and Thomas Darrah) didn’t have a chance to operate. And we need to continue to develop a backup quarterback that can be an effective player with consistency.”

There’s the wish list. Saban said that another touted freshman class, which arrives on campus in June, includes players who will have opportunities to win jobs.

“There’s going to be some opportunities for young people on our team right now as well as guys that are coming in,” Saban said.

“We have issues. We have things to work on,” Saban said, calling those challenges to be embraced.

He told his team in the locker room that he wasn’t as concerned with the talent as he was the leadership and passion on this team.
