Nick SabanThe numbers are adding up for Alabama.
Nick Saban's Crimson Tide have reached the open date of their season with a 5-0 record and having outscored their opposition 201-35, but that's just the tip of the telling statistics regarding college football's No. 1 team. The only disappointing number so far in Tuscaloosa is three, as the Crimson Tide have lost tailbacks Jalston Fowler and Dee Hart and receiver DeAndrew White with season-ending knee injuries.
Hart, who had 21 carries for 88 yards this year, and White, who had eight catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns, were injured in Saturday night's 33-14 win over Ole Miss.
The Crimson Tide return to action Oct. 13 at Missouri in a game that will be televised by CBS at 3:30 p.m. EDT.
