Nick Saban Pleased With Upward Trend After Vanderbilt Win
Alabama took down Vanderbilt 55-3 in Bryant-Denny Stadium to open SEC play on Saturday night.
"So I think we've shown a pretty good pattern here of sort of making improvement. A little bit of an upward trend. I think getting closer to playing the way we'd like to play. The challenges get greater as we go so we have to continue to focus on moving forward and improving, but we had some guys play really well tonight," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
Bryce played really well, defense played really well, Ja'Corey Brooks played really well. But, I think the team played really well. I think the team really bought into everybody trying to play to a standard and I think this is probably the closest we've come to that this year. The key to the drill is can we continue to build on it."
