Brian Kelly comments on Alabama under Nick Saban: ‘This is an outstanding football team’
Published:
Brian Kelly understands what has made Nick Saban so successful at Alabama.
Kelly joined Monday’s edition of The Paul Finebaum Show to talk about the upcoming matchup with the Crimson Tide.
Kelly noted that Saban’s years of recruiting and experience in big games are just some of the things that make the program great. Saban has been in those moments time and time again.
“It’s the layers. It’s years of recruiting, it’s years of messaging. It’s years of knowing what to do and how to do it in big games,” said Kely. “Nick’s been there, his teams are prepared for it.”

Alabama is always well coached in all phases of the game. The defense hasn’t given up more than 21 points in five consecutive SEC games. Kelly’s team has a tough opponent on Saturday.
“This is about a team that rises their preparation level. They don’t rise to the occasion of an LSU. They know what they’re doing, and they’ve been there before. This is a football team that is well-coached in all phases,” said Kelly. “Defensively, they haven’t given up more than 21 points in 5 consecutive SEC opponents. We know what we’re getting here, this is an outstanding football team.”
Kickoff from Tuscaloosa will be Saturday at 7:45 p.m. ET on CBS.
