Williams also missed a meaningful part of spring practice and fall camp with injuries. “Got to get him on the field and keep him on the field,” Curt Cignetti said of Williams at Big Ten…

But Saban says that influence is really just coming full circle. “I’ve always thought Curt had the right stuff, because I actually coached for his dad,” Saban said Friday in an interview with Pat McAfee.  “His dad was a coach when I was at West Virginia.  His dad was really well organized, a very good recruiter.  Curt came up in that coaches environment.  He’s very smart and bright.”…
