Alabama coach Nick Saban evaluated positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, tossing a wrench into the Crimson Tides preparation for Saturdays showdown with Georgia.
Now, it appears Saban will not be able to be on the sidelines for the contest, and it remains to be seen how much contact hell have the ability to have with his assistants throughout the game.
On Wednesday nights “SportsCenter,” SEC Network host Paul Finebaum signed up with the program and explained how Sabans lack would impact the outcome of the video game (through 247Sports):.
” Not just is he the greatest coach in this league, hes maybe the biggest coach of perpetuity in college football,” Finebaum said. “And on top of that were three and-a-half days far from the most significant game of the year in college football too between Georgia and Alabama, a two-versus-three match. And its a game that many individuals believed he would lose, even though theyre favored in Vegas. There were a lot of individuals wondering after Alabamas abysmal protective efficiency (versus Ole Miss): is this the first time among Sabans students will get him? Hes facing Kirby Smart, obviously, and now he will not exist. Thats a really intriguing proposal: the finest coach in the game will not be in the most significant game and hes facing someone who understands every one of his relocations.”.
The betting line has currently moved significantly in the after-effects of Sabans favorable test.
