Before facing ,Wisconsin Kalen DeBoer finds it difficult to escape Nick Saban’s enormous shadow.

The Tuscaloosa team defeated Western Kentucky 63-0 to start the Kalen DeBoer era off to a terrific start. Nevertheless, the new coach is still finding it difficult to escape the enormous shadow of his predecessor.

During his nearly two decades as a Bryant-Denny Stadium sideline roamer, Nick Saban brought six national titles to T-Town. The field where he guided so many illustrious teams out of the tunnel will soon have his name.

When the Crimson Tide take on South Florida on Saturday, Alabama will commemorate coach Nick Saban. The field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium will be named in the head coach’s honor, and it will officially be known as Saban Field.
