Alabama football did not do a good job of honoring Nick Saban the right way versus South Florida.

The Crimson Tide dedicated Saban Field in honor of Saban before the game in a ceremony, but penalties had the former Tide head coach disappointed in the first half.

Alabama holds a 14-6 lead over the Bulls at halftime, yet the ESPN camera caught Saban shaking his head in disapproval after several penalties against the offensive line.
