A&M did just that with a 41-38 victory on Oct. 9. Everyone immediately circled the rematch this year on Oct. 8 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Saban's comments are sure to add to the rematch.

Saban has a large number of coaches that he has coached with in his 28 seasons as a head coach, including former Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher. The two coaches worked together from 2000-2004 ...

Despite an up-and-down season a year ago, Fisher became the first of Saban's former assistants to beat him when Texas A & M upset No. 1 Alabama 41-38 at Kyle Field.
