3 things

Three things Alabama should remember after its 41-7 victory over Western Kentucky

The real game begins: It's nice to be 3-0, but now it's time for the real part of the season to start. Clemson was a test, but wins at Arkansas and Georgia can validate whether you are for real.

Run the ball: It is pretty obvious that the strength of your offense is the running game. I know the offense strives for balance, but maybe you should consider tilting it a little more toward the rushing attack.

Stay consistent: Throughout the course of Nick Saban's tenure, Alabama has often backed up a good performance with a bad one. It can't fall into that trap with SEC play about to begin.
