The Crimson Tide is on pace to lose more fumbles than it ever has under Saban. Read more...

On the season, Alabama has lost six fumbles, good for an average of more than one per game. It's on pace to finish with its most fumbles in a single season under Nick Saban.

At least we're good at something.

I believe that if Bama loses the turnover margin by 2 against every opponent the rest of the season and don't eliminate all the penalties we will only win one more game...Guess which game that would be.

One game lost is only one game lost.

Quote from CNS, "One of the disappointing things to me about our team is we have made more emphasis on ball security and getting turnovers this year than I can ever remember in all the teams I've been a coach, and we continue to not play the ball correctly and turn the ball over."  You could see the frustration on his face when he talked about this, and it's not just one or two players either. It's a problem along with all the penalties that MUST be corrected. Hopefully there has been a wake up call that has been heard by the entire team!! How they respond this week will tell if this has happened or not. We can only pray that it has!!

I watch ball security every game.  The problem is that many of the players simply do not use the proper technique.  I know the coaching staff has tried to teach them the proper technique, but when they get in the game they revert back to their old habits.

Trent Richardson is probably one of the best I have ever seen at securing the ball.  I think he only had a couple of fumbles the entire time he was at Alabama, and I think we got one of them back.  He used the proper technique on every play.  It also helped quite a bit that his arms are as big as oak trees.

Now that we have lost a game that can be directly attributed to a fumble, maybe they will "remember" to focus on ball security during the game, not just at practice when Coach Cochran is trying to take it away from them.
