Tuesday Crimson Tide Tidbits ..

Because this year's Crimson Tide vs Tigers being played on Friday instead of Saturday, everything had to be moved up practice-wise, so the Crimson Tide started preparing for the Tigers on Sunday instead of taking a day off. Television made a bad decision.
Someone at CBS apparently forgot that Alabama-Auburn is one of the country's best rivalry games.

Auburn is coming off a bye and has the advantage of playing at home.

"I think it helps probably more physically more than anything," senior left guard Mike Johnson. "No matter whom the next opponent is you're still going to be running the same plays and trying to defend the same plays for the most part. Just having that extra week to get your legs back under you is going to be huge for them (Auburn), and I know they're excited. They're a good football team. We're going to have to work that much harder."
