..BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Alabama coach Nick Saban says his top-ranked team rallied to beat LSU after heeding the example set by the elite Navy team that killed Osama bin Laden.
Walking that sometimes-debatable line between sports and war, Saban says he talked with his players before Saturday night's game about being ready when things went wrong. He cited the mission carried out in Pakistan by SEAL Team Six, which took out bin Laden.
A.J. McCarran guided a five-play, 72-yard drive that rallied Alabama to a 21-17 victory over the No. 5 Tigers. T.J. Yeldon won it on a 28-yard touchdown catch with 51 seconds remaining.
Saban says SEAL Team Six had to be adaptable to changing conditions, ''and I think there was a lot of that out there for us.''

I read this article last night.
He should coach at aTm. He'd fit right in with their culture.

Saban's Alabama team ripped my figurative heart out and killed my team's chance for a NC twice in the same year.

This was his theme of the week. He spoke of it the Wednesday before the game at Buffalo Wild wings. He was referring the the Military's ability to plan for contingencies.

Wish our fan base would stop acting so butt hurt over Saban.

Well, losing to ULM was as bad as 9/11 or Pearl Harbor.

So it was morally reprehensible to use the Military analogy to motivate the young men?
