Saban said Texas is a veteran team with a strong coach. It will be a good sign of where the Crimson Tide are as a whole.

"Where are we as a team? Where are you as a player?" Saban said.

These are the questions the game will answer.

When looking back at previous games against Texas, Saban said it's important to look technically, but not psychologically, because things can change.

Good communication is a major factor that Saban said is harped on consistently.

"We need all those guys to continue to develop and play well," Saban said of the second string.

The development of the younger players is important as they continue to grow and develop, as some players have already had to step up due to injuries.

"When we go out on the field, it all goes away," Saban said of anxiety about games for him and his players. It's all about just thinking about the next step, he said.
