The biggest question mark concerning Alabama is how seriously it will take the game. Coach Nick Saban said he believes his team is taking the right approach.
"I talked to the players about, 'We want you to have a good time, we want you to enjoy yourself, but we also want to play well in the game,'" he said. "We've got a lot to prove in this game in terms of we're a little bit disappointed in how we finished the season, so this is an opportunity that we have to try to play well against a good team.
"When you're in meetings, when you're at practice, you need to focus on the things that you need to do so that you can go out there and perform better. ... So far, the players have been pretty mature about that part of it."
