No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide have their first test in the SEC as they play the undefeated Florida Gators and Saban’s former protege Will Muschamp.
Muschamp was Saban's defensive coordinator at LSU and also worked with him with the Miami Dolphins and now he has the opportunity to become the teacher in a matchup against the No, 3 team in the country. Saban has called Muschamp "one of the best assistant coaches I ever had” on several occasions.
Muschamp spoke about Saban and gave praise to his mentor and spoke of this great opportunity for Florida football.
"I've got a lot of respect for Nick," Muschamp said. "I probably wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the opportunities he gave me early in my career and he's an outstanding football coach."
"There's going to be games like that when you play in our conference, and you've got to find ways to win those games," Muschamp said. "Our guys found a way to win the game. That's a huge positive, and it shows some resiliency and fighting through adversity.”
Florida got their first SEC win of the season in a triple overtime 36-30 win against Kentucky last week while the Crimson Tide are coming off two easy wins against Southern Miss and Florida Atlantic.
Alabama is 23-14 against Florida all-time and have won the last three matchups. The Crimson Tide are seeking their 23rd straight win in an SEC opener.
