TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban doesnt want No. 1 Alabama taking a step backward in performance no matter the opponent.The Crimson Tide coach paraphrased a well-known movie line to drive that point home leading up to Saturdays game against FCS team Chattanooga.I think that this week the old `Shawshank Redemption statement, youre either busy living or youre busy dying, Saban said. You know, it kind of means youre not going to stay the same. From my perspective, were either going to get better or were going to get worse. Were probably not going to stay the same.The same would probably get it done for the Tide (10-0, No. 1 CFP), which has won 22 straight games and already clinched a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game.Chattanooga (8-2) is the 11th-ranked team in the FCS but now must face a team loaded with NFL prospects.I think everybody knows this is the best team in the country, Mocs coach Russ Huesman said. Our players know they have tremendous players and I know they have tremendous coaches. Very smart people there. Watching film, theyre not only athletic, but they do things right in all phases of the game.The reality is that this game is a respite from Alabama before facing No. 18 Auburn in the Iron Bowl and then heading to the Atlanta to play for the league title and most likely a shot at a third straight playoff berth.FBS teams certainly havent been putting up much fight against the Tide in the last two months. In fact, Alabama has allowed just three points in the last nine quarters dating back to the Texas A&M game, including a 51-3 win over Mississippi State.---Some other things to know about the Chattanooga-Alabama game:STANDING ALONE: With a win, Saban would break a tie with Ohio States Woody Hayes and Florida States Bobby Bowden for the most victories coaching a top-ranked team. Saban is 40-5, as is Bowden. Hayes went 40-4-1 with No. 1 teams.PASS RUSHERS: Alabama has some of the SECs top pass rushers in defensive end Jonathan Allen and linebackers Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson. Chattanooga DE Keionta Davis leads the Southern Conference with eight sacks and has 28.5 in his career. It really looks like no one in the country can pass block against that line, Mocs guard Corey Levin said. So well have to try and get the ball out quicker.DEFENSIVE SCORES: Alabama has gone a whopping two games without scoring a non-offensive touchdown, but still leads the nation with 12. Defensive back Lucas Webb has returned three interceptions for touchdowns in his career and Chattanooga has scored a Southern Conference-best 19 defensive touchdowns since Huesman took over in 2009.HOMECOMING: Webb is from suburban Tuscaloosa and is a two-time All-Southern Conference performer. He said hell have some 20 family members at the game. Its a lot different from growing up when youre cheering for them as a team, Webb said. So its a little different when you come in there and want to do your best and try to beat that team.ALABAMAS RIGHT GUARD: Its the only spot in Alabamas lineup with any real uncertainty, since former starter Alphonse Taylor remains out and may not return after missing four games following a concussion. Senior Korren Kirven logged his first start against Mississippi State. Lester Cotton had started the previous three games.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Billy Paultz Jersey .
