TUSCALOOSA, Ala. | Nick Saban has given this Alabama team his early-season stamp of approval. “I sort of like this team,” the Bama coach said this week. It’s not precisely a ringing endorsement but it’s a good sign for the Crimson Tide. The top-ranked Tide has beaten a Top-5 team and dominated one from the Mountain West Conference while overcoming injuries to four linebackers. The next task is another Mountain West team, with Colorado State visiting Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday night as four-touchdown underdogs.
