re: Nick Saban must have A) expected to lose a game or B) knows one loss wont keep them out

I didn't see him blame Tua other than for the interception at the end of the half. He called him a warrior, and he was. Saban also said that LSU's offense had "no weaknesses," which was telling, bc he has not had the defense that he's had in years past (in large part due to injuries early on). I think he wasn't blowing up on the sideline and at the presser b/c he expected to lose. He was as glowing about Burrow as I've ever heard him be about a player from another team.
