The Alabama Crimson Tide have scored at least 50 points in all three games this year and have yet to allow more than 14.
However, as the Tide continue to roll, coach Nick Saban is preaching taking every opponent seriously and not getting ahead of themselves.
On SEC Nation on Saturday morning, Saban said it’s important that the Tide continue to respect each and every opponent as equals:
Nick Saban on SEC Nation: "I think one of the things that I worry about the most is our team cannot lower their vision and respect for the other team because of how our season has gone so far."

Though that may seem obvious, it is important for the Tide to not look ahead, as that’s how teams lose focus and lose games they should win.
