"I expect us to improve,'' the member of the College Football Hall of Fame added. "I certainly do. I hope we get our center (Ryan Kelly) back in a week or two. I think he was the key component on the offensive line and having us coordinated where we could run the football at will. We need to get the running back going. I think (T.J.) Yeldon just hasn't been generating as much offense as he should be because our offensive line and play-calling is not getting him in open spaces, because he's a good player. I'm hoping we get that working better.
"And our coaches are improving. We're making some mistakes and breakdowns in coverage and so forth in the secondary, but they were better last week (in win against Arkansas). We have a little tendency of not getting the play in a little early on defense, enough for guys to get in position and actually see what formation is coming at them. I'm hoping all those things are going to improve.''...
Common thread between Bryant, Saban: "They are very similar, very similar. They demand that you (have) integrity, honesty, you best go to class, you best stay out of trouble. Those types of things coach Bryant was always teaching. He said 'Lee Roy, in team, I'm not teaching you the game of football, I'm teaching you the game of life. If you learn how to do these things, if you go into business, no matter what business you go into, you'll be successful.' He really stressed that integrity and teamwork and supporting your fellow players and pushing every play to get better.''...
Very good read. Leroy has still got it! Sharp fellow, and plenty of experience to share.
