“I don’t know if that’s Lane doing that or if coach Saban is kind of putting the handcuffs on Lane like I’ve known Coach to do in the past on his offensive coordinator and we’re going to be very bland and run this play and do this and we’ll throw it on third down if we have to,” McCarron told Tide 99.1, according the Huntsville Times. “It’s going to be interesting to see how they bounce back against Arkansas this week and what kind of offense comes out this week.”
McCarron also said that the Alabama team lacked a true leader.Bleacher Report’s Marc Torrence said that Saban was asked about McCarron’s comments and responded exactly how you would expect him to, by disagreeing and reaffirming his position.
