PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
SABAN IN SEC ROAD OPENERS: Nick Saban is 11-1 (.917) in SEC road openers since he arrived in 2007,
with the lone loss coming at Ole Miss in 2014. Counting his time at LSU, Saban is 13-4 (.765) in the opening
road game of SEC play in his previous 17 SEC seasons. Saban is also 8-0 at Alabama when the Tide’s fi rst
Southeastern Conference game of the season is also on the road.
SABAN VS. FORMER ASSISTANTS: Alabama’s matchup at South Carolina will be the 17th meeting between
Tide head coach Nick Saban and one of his former assistants. South Carolina’s Will Muschamp was an assistant
under Saban at LSU from 2001-2004, serving as the Tiger’s linebackers coach in 2001, before rising to become
the LSU defensive coordinator in 2002. Muschamp also left LSU with Saban after the 2004 season to join the
Miami Dolphins staff as the assistant head coach. Saban is 16-0 all-time against his former staffers during his
tenure at Alabama. Saban has three wins vs. Derek Dooley (Tennessee, 2010-12) and Jim McElwain (Colorado
State, 2013; Florida 2015-16), two wins over Will Muschamp (Florida, 2011-14), Mark Dantonio (Michigan
State, 2010-15), Jimbo Fisher (Florida State 2017, Texas A&M 2018), and Kirby Smart (Georgia, 2018 CFP
National Championship Game and SEC Championship) and one win over Billy Napier (Louisiana, 2018) and
Jeremy Pruitt (Tennessee, 2018).

2019 Opponents in BOLD
ALABAMA IN THE AP POLL
TOP WINNING PERCENTAGE (DIVISION I)BY ACTIVE COACHES (10+ YEARS)
AGAINST THE TOP 10: Since the start of the 2008 season, the Crimson Tide has posted a 30-10 (.750) overall
record against top-10 teams, including a 15-4 (.790) mark versus the top 10 since the inception of the College
Football Playoff. In Saban’s five national championship seasons at Alabama, his teams have gone 17-2 against
top-10 opponents.
OUTSIDE THE TOP 15: In addition to its 84-game winning streak against unranked teams, Alabama has lost just one game to a team ranked outside the top 15 in the Associated Press poll since the start of the 2008 season (No. 19 South Carolina in 2010). For perspective, no team in the FBS has lost fewer than 10 games to teams outside the top 15 in that same time frame.
SABAN VS. AP TOP 25: Alabama’s 45-34 win over No. 4 Oklahoma in the 2018 Capital One Orange Bowl
on Dec. 29 was Nick Saban’s 82nd career win vs. the Associated Press Top 25, tying him with Florida State
legend Bobby Bowden for second all-time. Former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno leads the list with 86,
four ahead of Bowden and Saban. Alabama’s Paul “Bear” Bryant is fourth at 66 while former Duke, Florida and
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is fifth at 64. Saban’s winning percentage against AP ranked teams (82-40,

BEATING THE BEST: The Crimson Tide is 58-15 (.795) against the Associated Press Top 25, including a 32-9
(.781) mark against AP top-10 teams since the start of 2008. Alabama fi nished 5-1 against ranked opponents
in 2018 after facing 10 teams ranked in the AP poll in 2017, going 9-1 and outscoring those opponents by an
average score of 38.0-17.3. Alabama fi nished 8-1 in 2015 against the AP Top 25 .
UNRANKED, NO PROBLEM UNDER SABAN: With its 62-10 win against New Mexico State on Saturday, Sept. 7, Alabama has defeated 84 consecutive unranked teams under head coach Nick Saban, the longest streak in FBS history. Alabama’s last loss to a team not ranked in the Associated Press poll was a 17-10 defeat at the hands of Auburn on Nov. 24, 2007. The current streak began with a win over Colorado on Dec. 30, 2007 in the Independence Bowl. The previous record was 72 games, shared by Miami (Fla.) (1984-95) and Florida (1989-2000). Under Saban, Alabama holds an 88-3 (.967) (84-3, .966 after vacations) mark against unranked
opponents.
ALWAYS IN THE HUNT: Since the 2008 season, Alabama has played in 131 of 134 regular season games
that have had national championship implications. Following the Crimson Tide’s 24-21 loss to LSU during the
2010 calendar year, UA was essentially eliminated from a chance to keep itself in the national championship
discussion. The final three games of that season mark the only three regular season contests without direct
national championship implications over the last 12 seasons.
ALABAMA HAS MOST WINS SINCE 2008: Dating back to the start of the 2008 season, Alabama has won
141 games, which is the most in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Crimson Tide won 12 games in 2008,
followed by a perfect 14-0 record in 2009, a 10-3 mark in 2010 and a 12-1 record in 2011. Alabama fi nished 13-1
in 2012 and 2017, 11-2 in 2013, 12-2 in 2014, and 14-1 in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Ohio State is second with 127
wins, followed by Boise State (123) at No. 3, Clemson at 121 for the No. 4 spot and Oklahoma with 119 to round
out the top fi ve.

The Crimson Tide has enjoyed much success in the coaches rankings
over the past half century. The United Press International debuted
the coaches poll in 1950 and ran the poll through the 1990 season.
USA TODAY has administered the poll for the past 29 seasons (1991-
2019), and in 2014, Amway became the title sponsor. Alabama was
ranked No. 1 in the 2010 preseason coaches’ poll after starting out
the 2009 preseason poll at No. 5. Alabama remained in the top
fi ve the entire season, reaching No. 1 after defeating Florida in the
SEC Championship and holding the position to claim the national
championship after defeating Texas in Pasadena. The Tide then
claimed the No. 1 spot to close out the 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2017
seasons. The Tide has compiled four UPI (1961, 1964, 1973 and 1979)

ALABAMA IN THE COACHES POLLNON-OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS IN THE SABAN ERA: Redshirt junior linebacker Anfernee Jennings’ 18-
yard, third-quarter return for a touchdown off of redshirt junior Deionte Thompson’s forced fumble against The
Citadel on Nov. 17 was Alabama’s 68th non-offensive touchdown of the Nick Saban era and was the seventh

touchdown in 10 consecutive games dating from to the CFP Semifinal vs. Michigan State on Dec. 31, 2015, to
the Texas A&M game on Oct. 22, 2016, and had 14 non-offensive touchdowns in that span – four interceptions,

UA’s 125 wins over that decade are the most for any FBS school during a 10-yard span in the Associated Press poll era (since 1936).
ALABAMA LEADS IN QUALITY WINS OVER LAST FIVE YEARS: According to

wins” with 47. Quality wins are defi ned as victories over FBS opponents that fi nished
the season with a winning record. The Crimson Tide’s win total was three ahead of
second-place Clemson (44) with Ohio State (36) ranking third. Head coach Nick Saban
and the Tide fi nished at 67-6 (.918) over that stretch with 70.2 percent of the team’s
victories being defi ned as quality wins.
SABAN AMONG 20-YEAR LEADERS: Alabama’s 45-40 win over Clemson in the
2016 College Football Playoff Championship Game was head coach Nick Saban’s
191st victory in his fi rst 20 years as a college head coach. That total is the second-
most in FBS history for a coach in the fi rst 20 seasons of his career. Former Nebraska
head coach Tom Osborne won 195 games in the opening two decades of his tenure in
Lincoln. Long-time Penn State head coach Joe Paterno ranks third with 187. Saban’s
fi ve national championships in 20 seasons tops both Osborne (none) and Paterno (one).
NEW HIRES: Nick Saban’s 2019 coaching staff features seven new faces, including
five newcomers to Tuscaloosa and a pair of returnees from previous staffs. Saban’s
five new hires include: Brian Baker as associate head coach and defensive line coach;
Kyle Flood as offensive line coach; Charles Huff as associate head coach and running
backs coach; Charles Kelly as associate defensive coordinator and safeties coach; and
Holmon Wiggins as wide receivers coach. In addition, Steve Sarkisian returned to the
Capstone as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, while Sal Sunseri assumed
the role of outside linebackers coach. Sarkisian was previously in Tuscaloosa as an
analyst during the 2016 season, eventually taking over play-calling duties for the 2017
College Football Playoff National Championship Game in Tampa, Fla. Sunseri enters his
fourth year overall on Saban’s staff, previously spending three seasons from 2009-11
as assistant head coach while guiding the outside linebackers.
ALABAMA AMONG NFL COACHING EXPERIENCE LEADERS: The Alabama
coaching staff ranks third among all Football Bowl Subdivision programs - and places
second in the SEC - in years of National Football League coaching experience among
its on-fi eld coaching staff. The Crimson Tide boast 43 years of NFL experience between
head coach Nick Saban (eight years), associate head/defensive line coach Brian Baker
(19), outside linebackers coach Sal Sunseri (10), offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian
(3), offensive line coach Kyle Flood (2) and associate head/running backs coach Charles

• Saban has a 239-63-1 (.790) record as a college head coach to date (234-63-1, .787 after vacations). He has six national championships – five at Alabama – nine conference championships and 20 of his teams have played in postseason bowl games, including a trip to the BCS National Championship Game following the 2003, 2009, 2011 and 2012 seasons and the College Football Playoff Semifinals each of the last five seasons including the last four CFP National Championship Games.
• Saban is the only coach to win four BCS national championships, the only coach to win back-to-back BCS national championships and one of only two coaches to win multiple CFP National Championships. He has won six titles in his last 15 years coaching college football, most recently capturing the CFP National Championship following the 2017 season. Saban is one of three college coaches in the poll era (since 1936) to win three national championships in four years, joining Frank Leahy (Notre Dame - 1946-47, 1949) and Tom Osborne (Nebraska - 1994-95, 1997). He is also just the second coach in the poll era to win six national championships (Paul “Bear” Bryant) and the fi rst to ever win fi ve titles in a nine-year span.
• In 2009, Saban produced Alabama’s first national championship in 17 years by guiding the Crimson Tide to a 14-0 season with dominant wins over Florida in the SEC championship and Texas in the Citi BCS National Championship Game. He then followed that up with his second BCS championship in three years with a 21-0 shutout of LSU following the 2011 season at the Allstate BCS National Championship Game. He made it back-to-back BCS national championships in 2012 with a 42-14 win over Notre Dame in the Discover BCS National Championship Game. He took down Clemson 45-40 to capture title No. 5 following the 2015 season in the CFP National Championship Game. He captured his sixth national championship - and fifth at Alabama - in 2017 with a 26-23 overtime win over Georgia in the 2018 CFP National Championship Game.
• In addition to the on-field success, the 2011 team was also recognized with the Disney Spirit Award, which was presented to snapper Carson Tinker, for the team’s response to the community following the tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011. The Tide also had extensive success in the classroom that year with 38 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections, a league record, and produced an Academic All-American in Barrett Jones.
• His most recent college head coaching stint, a five-season run at LSU, produced a record of 48-16 (.750), one national championship (2003), two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC West Division championships, and a 3-2 record in bowl games including two Sugar Bowl victories and a Peach Bowl win. The Tigers constructed a 28-12 (.700) record against SEC opponents under Saban’s guidance. He was named the 2003 National Coach of the Year by the Associated Press and earned both the Paul W. “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Award and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award by the Football Writers Association of America. Saban was named SEC Coach of the Year twice (by the Birmingham News in 2001 and by the Associated Press in 2003).
• Saban served as head coach at Michigan State from 1995-99, his second stint at the East Lansing school as he also spent 1983-87 as the Spartans’ defensive coordinator/secondary coach. After playing in just one bowl game in the previous four years, Michigan State made four postseason appearances in Saban’s five years at the helm. Saban led MSU to a 34-24-1 (.585) record as head coach.
• In 1999, Saban led his final Spartans team to a No. 7 national ranking as MSU finished in a tie for second in the Big Ten. The Spartans defeated Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State in the same year for the first time since 1965 and recorded six wins at home for the first time since the 1912 season. The Spartans’ performance that year landed them a spot in the Citrus Bowl. The Spartans led the Big Ten in rushing defense (77.0 yards per game) and total defense (299.0 yards per game) while ranking fifth nationally in rushing defense and 11th in total defense. The Michigan State offense averaged 31.0 points per game.
• Saban’s first head coaching position came at the University of Toledo in 1990, as he guided the Rockets to a record of 9-2 that year, finishing as co-champions of the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets ranked among the NCAA leaders in both total defense (12th at 284.8 yards) and scoring defense (16th at 16.2 points) and missed posting an undefeated record by a mere five points.
• A native of Fairmont, W.Va., Saban is a 1973 graduate of Kent State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business. He earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State in 1975. Born October 31, 1951, Saban and his wife, the former Terry Constable, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. They have one granddaughter, Amélie, and a daughter-in-law, Kelsé.
• At Michigan State, Saban started the “Nick’s Kids” Foundation, which the Sabans continue here in Tuscaloosa. Since their arrival at the University of Alabama, the Saban’s have helped raise roughly $8 million for “Nick’s Kids” that has been distributed to more than 250 charities and organizations throughout the state of Alabama and the Southeast. The Sabans also built 16 homes, one for each of the Tide’s national championships, with Habitat for Humanity following the April 27, 2011, tornado that struck Tuscaloosa.
• In June of 2008, the Sabans announced a $1 million gift to benefit Alabama’s first-generation scholarship program. The gift has a special meaning to the Sabans as both Nick and Terry were both first-generation graduates.

2019 RECAPS AND BOX SCORES
ATLANTA — A stout defense paired with stellar quarterback play propelled the No. 2/2-ranked Alabama to a 42-3 win over Duke in the 2019 Chick-fi l-A Kickoff Game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The victory to start the season moved the Crimson Tide to 6-0 all-time in Chick-fi l-A Kickoff Games and to 14-1 in games played in Atlanta since head coach Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa, including 13 straight wins.
The Crimson Tide defense limited the Blue Devils to only 204 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers on the day. Junior defensive back Xavier McKinney led all defenders with eight tackles while Trevon Diggs made an impact in the turnover department. The senior defensive back picked off a pass while also recovering a fumble to go with a pair of tackles. The fumble was forced by Patrick Surtain II with the sophomore also contributing a pass breakup and four tackles.
Alabama’s offense began slowly but kept the pressure on from the second quarter until the fi nal whistle. Junior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa accounted for four touchdowns - all through the air - as part of his 26-of-31 passing effort totaling 336 yards. Ten of Tagovailoa’s throws went to fellow junior Jerry Jeudy. The third-year wideout fi nished with a career-high 10 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown. Redshirt freshman running back Jerome Ford led the Tide runners, totaling 64 yards and a score on 10 carries.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The No. 2/2 ranked Crimson Tide put 603 yards of total offense in its 62-10 win over New Mexico State in Alabama’s home opener inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

On offense, junior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa totaled 227 yards and three touchdowns on 16-of-24 passing, to go along with a 25-yard rushing touchdown as part of his 33 yards on the ground.
