Despite Nick Saban insisting that Alabama is taking The Citadel seriously, the Crimson Tide will rout their foes on Saturday.

However, that’s not what this game is about. This game is about the Tide working on some things as they prepare for a tough two-game stretch against Auburn in the Iron Bowl and Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.

On Wednesday, Saban said he’ll be looking for his defense to force more turnovers and expects his offense to give the ball away less:

A game like this is a perfect chance for the Tide to work on a few areas of their team that haven’t been the best this season.

It should still be a rout, but look for Saban to give The Citadel some different looks on Saturday.
