Tommy Tuberville: Alabama has taken the fun out of college football

Former Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville joined The Paul Finebaum Show on Monday afternoon and was asked to assess this edition of the Crimson Tide. In the most complimentary way, Tuberville stated that Saban has sucked the fun out of the sport this year.

“They’ve taken the fun out of it, Paul. Nick Saban has absolutely taken the fun out of it,” Tuberville said. “It’s not even fun to watch because you know they’re going to win. You just don’t know by how much. I thought Saturday would be his biggest test simply for the fact that LSU had some momentum. They beat the heck out of Georgia, and they had Alabama coming to their place. Everybody is saying that Alabama hasn’t played anybody as good as LSU. The one question mark I had was the defense. LSU is not great on offense. They’re struggling. They don’t have the athletes that they’ll have in a few years if they continue to recruit, but it was domination.”

Tuberville doesn’t see things getting much more exciting the rest of the way, either. Outside of possibly Clemson, the former Auburn coach doubts that anyone will be able to hang with the Tide for four quarters.

“So it’s really become unfair. It’s taken all the fun out of November, and the championship game. I don’t see anybody, unless it’s going to be Clemson, that might have a decent chance to play them with four weeks off and have a chance to circle the wagons.”
