Areas of concern ahead of Alabama’s Week 3 matchup against Louisiana Monroe

Some areas of concern ahead of Alabama’s Week 3 matchup against the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks.

Alabama hasn’t had an issue with smaller programs since Nick Saban first arrived. With that said, the Tide did lose at the hands of Louisiana Monroe back in 2007. Since then, the Tide hasn’t dropped a similar game.

Coach Saban treats all of his opponents the same regardless of their record or the conference they play in. Recently, the Warhawks haven’t seen much success. That didn’t stop Saban from speaking out about the Tide’s Week 3 opponent in his most recent press conference. Here is what Saban had to say regarding the Warhawks:

“No player should be worried about the opponent, they should be enamored with the success of themselves and their team. Your opponent, the score, all of that shouldn’t affect your motivation going into a game.”

WVUA Sports’ Alex Boothe was one of the first to report on Saban’s comments.

Today, Roll Tide Wire will look at some of the areas of concern heading into Alabama’s Week 3 matchup vs. Louisiana Monroe.
